The CDC is still maintaining that Ebola can't travel across a room THROUGH THE AIR and kill you even though the people that advise them, the center for infectious disease research and policy have said otherwise. and they authorized someone to get on a plane who had a new onset fever following exposure to Ebola. Patient zero never should have been allowed into a non-level 4 containment facility in the first place. They need to stop pointing fingers.

travel across a room THROUGH THE AIR and kill you

That's true, it can do that. It seems to require a late stage patient for a high risk, and perhaps a very low but nonzero risk for a saliva transfer.

hey authorized someone to get on a plane who had a new onset fever following exposure to Ebola

A stupid decision, but low risk nonetheless. We need to be as close to zero risk as possible with this disease, but having allowed nonzero risks, we should be wildly overestimating those past exposure risks.

Our local evening news said not to get closer than 15 feet from someone who is sick with anything because of sneezes and coughs travel. But obola and the CDC wants us to sit on buses and planes with Ebola victims.

They're also lying about symptoms. 13% don't develop the tell-tale fever. Typically, only 30-50% go hemorrhagic but only 18% do with this strain. So, tell me again what we need to watch out for.
