Ebola is no more airborne than AIDS..... I have done my own research. I don’t go around making up silly stuff to scare people
How DARE you ruin a perfectly good fear spreading thread such as this!
OFF WITH YOUR HEAD! :)
Canadian scientists did do an experiment with pigs and monkeys. Pigs were infected, monkeys caught the virus even though they were separated by a barrier.
They having a little trouble getting volunteers for a human to human experiment.
Ebola virus does survive several days outside the body so indirect transmission would be possible.
Nose pickers beware!
Please site the journals, periodicals, CDC reports and Epidemiology Monthly Reports you are basing your statements on.
However that statement is a bit misleading in of itself. Because even the current strain of Ebola is more contagious than AIDS (or the virus that causes AIDS really).
It's not possible, for example, to get AIDS from casual contact with infected individuals, but with Ebola, sweat and tears can spread the disease, if such fluids come in contact with mucous membranes, even only casually. The proof of this is the fact that aid workers who have treated Ebola patients have contracted the disease.
This isn't the case with AIDS or we would've seen cases pop up in those who treat such patients by now and not just homosexuals and/or IV drug users.
