That Nature article is convincing evidence that the Virus spread as a result of CLOSE PROXIMITY, not just contact.

That is something all the Health Organizations are saying doesn't happen.

I suspect this virus always burned out in the jungle because folks died off pretty quickly and didn't travel much.

But turn it loose in a modern city/airports and all bets are off.

It DOES transmit quite easily and quickly. And the gestation period allows for wide dispersal.

CDC and WHO wouldn't lie to us, would they? lol

Thanks. The first article says that transmission is difficult and not airborne, but the woman in the article infected everyone in her taxi and they died:
“Feeling unwell and fearing a similar fate, the sister wanted to see her husband - an internal migrant worker then employed on the other side of Liberia at the Firestone rubber plantation.

She took a communal taxi via Liberia’s capital Monrovia, exposing five other people to the virus who later contracted and died of the Ebola. In Monrovia, she switched to a motorcycle, riding pillion with young man who agreed to take her to the plantation and whom health authorities were subsequently desperate to trace.”
