Did you read the bit about e. zaire being aerosol born?
Like from sneezes?
And that it can survive on polished surfaces (like most of our public transit system) for up to 5 days? Perhaps longer?
Journal Nature is hardly ‘joe’s conspiracy site’.

” In-contact transmission of Zaire-EBOV (ZEBOV) between pigs was demonstrated experimentally. Here we show ZEBOV transmission from pigs to cynomolgus macaques without direct contact. “
Transmission withOUT direct contact.
I realize you’re just a computer guy, but lookie at the graph towards the bottom of this page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_West_Africa_Ebola_outbreak
numbers of infection vs. date
You’ll note that there appear to be no or few ‘new’ infections in late april/early may. But after that the curve appears to be going exponential.
Guess what happens in West Africa in late April/early May?
Rainy season.
Guess what else happens then...
Mosquito season.
Because there aren’t any mosquitos in the SE. Especially not in the summer.
Look. I’m a very skilled computer developer. Based on my high level of authority in this field, I am here to assure you there is absolutely nothing to worry about.
