Since EVD is present in saliva, ie nose mouth, sneezing or coughing will carry it on expulsion.

Since EVD is present in saliva, ie nose mouth, sneezing or coughing will carry it on expulsion. I know.
The issue has been how well it survives in the air, and how long it hangs in the air once the tiny liquid droplets dry.
It's known that "fomites" (essentially, what's left when a droplet dries out) can survive quite a while. If you breathe one of these in, and it lands on a cell Ebola is capable of infecting, you are most likely going to get Ebola.
