No, that's not likely and it's not airborne. Please define "not airborne"

Please define "not airborne"

An airborne disease is any disease that is caused by pathogens and transmitted through the air. Ebola is not one of them.

Please define "not airborne"

Currently the word 'airborne' is being misused much like the word 'evolution'.

A more descriptive term is 'aerosolized'.

Ebola is airborne (currently) when it travels in body fluids ejected from the host. (sweating, sneezing, coughing). It can only survive about 4 hours and can't travel far.

To be classified as 'aerosolized' it has to be in small enough particles to float on the air , and does not need bodily fluids to 'carry' it.
