The article is incorrect in saying that medical establishments would quickly recognize and isolate Ebola patients. It is not a disease practitioners ever see outside one or two lectures. It would present as a mystery disease at first, another vague flu-like collection of symptoms. Samples sent to CDC take longer than the movies to be analyzed. By the time it has become a hemorrhagic case in 4-5 days, it is too late for that patient and an unknown number have been exposed.
The article is correct in stating that is conveyed by bodily fluid contact. It is incorrect in saying that being in the same room with an Ebola patient with no precautions is safe. Bodily fluids include droplets, which are airborne, and the virus has been shown to be transmitted via airborne droplets in primates and is theorized in human outbreaks. Also, the virus can survive on contaminated surfaces, wet or dry.
