CDC says ebola ‘may’ also spread thus: “may include emission of droplets into the air by vomiting or sneezing.”
Folks, that’s double-speak for AIR BORNE...which they are trying NOT to admit. And in a plane - air breathed by everyone goes around and around the closed system of the planes oxygen system.
So the CDC is now issuing a warning for flyers:

AND our gov’t is - says it’s taking some precautions regarding people flying here from ebola ravished countries (Other countries like England, France, The Ivory Coast countries, Kenya, Ghana, etc. have BANNED FLIGHTS from ebola stricken countries.) but actually, the U.S. is not going to do anything more than they already do - that is, swipe the forehead thermometer - and if no fever shows - they’re good to climb aboard. The CDC says “ the virus is not especially contagious before sick individuals display the grisly symptoms” - THAT is an outright lie. “Not especially” ??? Russian roulette.
There should be a ‘no fly’ from those countries unless a person goes thru’ a quarantine period. “We’re ready to quarantine ebola patients”???? ONLY if they’re showing ‘grisly symptoms’ . If they aren’t showing them yet - like this guy in Dallas wasn’t - they’re good to go!. How’s that worked out? In other words - we’re still as vulnerable as before.

I think, were I flying, I’d be having me a face mask. Good grief, people in Japan wear one everywhere in public when there’ just a rash of the common cold.
WE need to be pro-active for our own health because the gov ‘t isn’t ‘especially’ going to protect us.
Correct:
airborne,
adj carried through the air. In health care settings, viruses or bacteria may become airborne, e.g., when someone sneezes or coughs.
