Does sneezing or coughing expel bodily fluids? Historically, it does. So the answer is YES.

Then how did they make the claim that Ebola is not airborne?

Same way they do everything in this administration. They pull it out their backsides. My tagline was once, a few days ago, on the CDC website.

Why do we need a scientific study? A sneeze emits LIQUID droplets, if you are a virus, the droplet is the size of the Atlantic Ocean to you. As long as you stay wet, you are alive and well. Now can that droplet move through the air to another person during a sneeze? Of course. That doesn’t mean is is air transported, there’s a huge difference in the vector’s mechanics. Very preventable AS LONG AS IT IS LIQUID medium.

of course it IS airborne- them oment a person coughs or sneezes it IS AIRBORN! and the virus can live days on surfaces- someone comes along, touches an infected surface, then touches their mouth (something the average person does over 60 times a day) and you have just transferred the virus to your system.

I can NOT believe how lackadaisical this administration is being over this deadly virus- what the hell is wrong with them?:

Mammals are carries, that has been known for some time and tests have been performed on one strain (that I know of) showing that animals infect other animals.

Our mobility, hospitable environment, modern conveniences -plumbing, trash pick up, restaurants- and pets really would allow Ebola to flourish and spread.

I read some progressives think the population needs to be culled or reduced. Fewer people will provide a better standard of living.

Of course, we are only speculating here. For myself, I don’t see a group of elites pursuing that line of action.. but ya never know. My post was concerned with the lack of curiosity about ebola on the part of the CDC. My point was that they probably know TONS of stuff about it, already, as it was studied by the government extensively for possible use in warfare.

If an aerosol of your Ebola-infected sneeze snot reaches another person’s eyes, it is reasonable to believe that he can get Ebola (bodily fluid contact).

If the CDC says that Ebola cannot be transmitted by coughs or sneezes, they are probably not being honest.

Case closed.
