Our government is lying to us, also. According to Mosby’s Medical Dictionary, Ebola virus disease: ‘...secondary infection is by direct contact with infectious blood or other body secretions or by airborne particles.’

‘Airborne particles’ are the key words in this definition. Folks need to start paying attention.

I agree. I've seen far too many people get hung up on the "technical" meaning of "airborne" which, I gather, means that some germs can linger in the air for a very long time, and sort of drift around as a contagious fog. Ebola doesn't seem to do that, therefore, it is not airborne.

But, for my money, coughing and sneezing propels virus particles pretty well, and I consider Ebola to be very likely airborne. But, hey, I'm not using my medical vocabulary properly, so it's all good. [/s]

This kind of stuff is why we have “truthers”. JFK Death truthers, “Moonwalk” truthers, 9-11 truthers, et al.
My beef is not with truthers, per se. But with the fact that they swallow every Democrat yarn, hook, line and sinker; but will reject and villify everything from the R side before even thinking it through. Selective credulity! Terminal stupidity!

Ebola is not, never has been, and never will be an airborne transmissible disease. Apparently, that nurse was protected against an airborne disease... the problem is that she was not protected against a direct-contact disease like Ebola.
