It says UV kills it, doesn’t say instantly. It does say the virus can live for days outside the host at room temp.
Ebola is not a spore, its a virus. All it takes is 1 single organism to contact the right place and you can catch it. Touch a table and then your eye or lips, or a cut and you can pick it up.
This is why medical staff are catching it, IMO.
That isn't known to happen with Ebola, unless the infected individual were maybe coughing from the other side of the table. The latent ambient surface mode of transmission has not been known to occur. Some day this may change; I hope not.
That and an apparently super high pathogenicity.
We have all these people saying that it’s not that contagious, and you can’t catch it blah blah blah.
Well, the doctors and nurses especially those who have worked in previous outbreaks, know the protocola, and yet they are coming down with it.
So maybe it’s a little easier to transmit than people think. After all, it’s a virus and they do mutate and adapt.
Some of the first reports said it was a new strain, but then no more was heard about the “new”.
