Then, when USAMRIID (The United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases), was conducting experiments with monkeys in Reston, Virginia, the entire group of primates had to be destroyed and the facility decontaminated and torn down--a mutation had occurred, which was called "Ebola Reston".

Let's not remind people what the mutation was that caused such total decontamination of that facility. Nice how they leave that info out.

It was Hazleton Laboratories in Reston, Virginia, not the U.S. Army who had the outbreak. The Army got involved to end it.

That strain WAS airborne. However humans did not seem to contract that version.

With the virus reproducing by the billions in a host, the chance for a seven protein DNA to mutate is huge. One will mutate to become airborne, while not hostile to humans. The next mutation may be airborne and fatal.

This potential mutation becomes more likely with every single case.

With viruses like Ebola the danger is in the speed and complete takeover of the hosts.
