so yes, yes it can...from the CDC.....

Can Ebola spread by coughing? By sneezing?

Unlike respiratory illnesses like measles or chickenpox, which can be transmitted by virus particles that remain suspended in the air after an infected person coughs or sneezes, Ebola is transmitted by direct contact with body fluids of a person who has symptoms of Ebola disease. Although coughing and sneezing are not common symptoms of Ebola, if a symptomatic patient with Ebola coughs or sneezes on someone, and saliva or mucus come into contact with that person’s eyes, nose or mouth, these fluids may transmit the disease.

in other words, if someone sneezes or coughs right on you, you can get it, so this bull about it not being easy to get is rubbish.

My question is, “how long can/does the virus survive outside of the host? Say on a surface like a doorknob or sidewalk (Vomit).
