The initial Ebola outbreak in Guinea is believed to have started when hunters came in contact with infected fruit bats. The Ebola virus is spread between humans through direct contact. Once infected, it can take up to 21 days for symptoms to appear, which include high fever, headaches, and fatigue. At that point, the infected person is contagious.
Direct contact is ambiguous. A disease in which you have to get someone's bodily fluids into your bodily fluids is not easy to catch. So, either this is not Ebola, or Ebola has changed. If Ebola is now easy to transmit, bad bad news.
The Reston variety of ebola is airborne, fortunately it doesn’t cause hemorrhagic fever in humans.
Ebola tends to erupt in cultures that promote/expect close physical contact with the dying. As it tends to liquefy ones cells, “bodily fluid” contact is easy, and sufficient open wounds are more prevalent than most people expect.
