So they conveniently forget this little study Transmission of Ebola virus from pigs to non-human primates : Scientific Reports : Nature Publishing Group http://www.nature.com/srep/2012/121115/srep00811/full/srep00811.html

Pigs are not humans, nor even primates. They get a respiratory infection with Ebola. Primates only get a blood infection.

You cannot look at the symptoms of a disease in one species and make any conclusion whatsoever about symptoms in a different species.

An example of how viruses behave differently between species is the herpes B virus. In monkeys, it causes minimal to no symptoms. In humans, it is fatal. Researchers who work with monkeys must wear full PPE to avoid getting that disease, even if the monkeys look perfectly healthy.

So IF: The virus is found in bodily fluids, that would include saliva and sputum, yes? Lets say a person is sick with Ebola and sneezes or coughs, aerosolizing that sputum and saliva into the air that an uninfected person breathes. You are saying,"No chance what so ever of catching it." I assume you would not mind testing that theory out personally, yes?

What if that person just recently vomited and sneezes or coughs? Or they are already bleeding from the gums due to existing periodontal conditions? Or they have nose bleeds? Bite their cheek or tongue?
