If human skin itself contains the receptors required for the Ebola virus to easily bind to a host, aren’t carriers always contagious? Human skin is not a barrier, the virus passes right through it. Both directions... Once a significant population of the virus comes into contact with the host, that’s pretty much it. That is the horrific aspect of the virus here where airborne or not, on contact transmission is almost a given.
So yeah, contact = transmission here.
