People catch Ebola when they get a lot of infected blood on themselves and have an open cut. Hunters who are skinning and butchering “bushmeat” get it. People who are caring for Ebola victims and who are not careful about exposure to blood- of course Ebola patients do bleed a lot. And people who are preparing Ebola dead for burial. But just being in the room with someone who has Ebola isn’t a big risk.
Contrast that to influenza. People with the flu are shedding the virus when simply breathing. You don’t even have to cough or sneeze to spread it.
As a follow up, where has James Oscar been for the past 7 years?.......LOL!
