From the CDC: “Ebola has been found in semen for up to three months... People who recover from Ebola are advised to abstain from sex or use condoms for 3 months.”
Or use condoms? The CDC is convinced that even Ebola patients can’t keep it in their pants for three months???
“...it would appear Ebola cannot be transmitted even in the tiny aerosolized droplets of a sneeze IF indeed its not airborne. The CDC has said it’s not airborne.”
Airborne means the particle is supported by air and it “floats” on the air for “x” distance.
According to the CDC, the Ebola virus isn’t supported by air so doesn’t travel upon the air. HOWEVER, when it is VIOLENTLY EJECTED FROM THE BODY AS IN A COUGH OR SNEEZE, it ejects for a distance, then falls.
Consider a baseball pitcher throwing a baseball. The ball is ejected by force from the pitcher and it is the momentum of the throw that projects the ball a certain distance. The ball is not floating on air - force has ejected it THROUGH the air until the effect of the force is gone and the ball drops to the ground. Ejection of Ebola in liquid through force from the person reacts as the baseball does.
