Yes technical Ebola may not be air borne, but for a practically in confined spaces I see little difference.

An infected suicide bomber can aerosolize himself quite effectively.

However far the CDC says they travel, give or take five blocks

now think about fluid transmission off toilets, urinals and the sprays each give off being flushed.

Technically, influenza and the common cold aren’t spread by aerosol, either...

The CDC there is no effect of Ebola to Americans,
except for the EXEMPT in Congress and EXEMPT Obola,
both who must be protected and have all vaccines
reserved ... for them.
Is everyone in the CDC also EXEMPT?

Again on this thread.
If you listed to your mother.
You would cover your mouth when you sneeze.
Wash your hands.
Don’t put more on your plate than you can eat.
My mother was also into grammar and spelling. I am still working on it mom.

How far can they travel when using a pressure washer to clean ebola infected vomit from the driveway?

“air borne transmission” has a very defined meaning, and ebola does not meet that definition.
But, your description is spot on, you can catch it via transfer of virus propelled through the air that is riding on some body fluid.
To me that means it is capable or air borne transmission, but not to the “experts”.
BTW, what is the definition of “is”?

The game of Ebola Roulette continues...

BANG!
Eeeee-bolllll-aaaaaa ping!
Bring Out Your Dead
Were gonna need
a bigger cart!
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the Bring Out Your Dead ping list (formerly the Ebola ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the Bring Out Your Dead threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...

They HIRED an infected Liberian just to bring him here!
They obviously got the daily memo.

To the public at large the difference is splitting hairs, and in my opinion it is irresponsible to under state the actual danger of being close enough to be exposed by such droplets.

If you listed to your mother.
Make your bed every day.
If you start out the day with one accomplishment, you are ready to continue to do the same.
P.S. If you can turn the bedding down for thirty minutes, you have the luxury of killing off a bunch of small beasties. Very little, tiny, microscopic terror type buggers.

Because the droplets are in a cloud, they stay suspended and travel further particularly smaller ones, which travel up to 200 times farther than previously estimated. Duh. A well known phenomenon in ballistics, and in bicycling. The lead particles take the wind resistance and slows down as the succeeding particles travel on with very low drag. This isn't rocket science... well, maybe it is.
