In my view you stated that well.

This administration has been trying to calm people and minimize the possibility of airborne transmission to practically non existent but that possibility is there.

Under the right, or maybe it should be stated, the worst conditions it’s certain the threat is real.

This administration should be telling it like it really is.

“This administration should be telling it like it really is.”

They don’t know how it really is. No one does really. They have suppositions and projections. Not real science. and the story is evolving. Just like AIDS. We ended up with a million AIDS cases when we could have quarantines a few hundred fudge packers and stopped the majority of cases.

Here's a little more ...

[10/06/2014] Centers for Disease Control: Ebola (Ebola Virus Disease)

Can Ebola spread by coughing? By sneezing?

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.

Yet, I've read that the auger / drilling glycoprotein* "head" of the EBOLA virus will work on almost any cell except bone and some specific muscle. Meaning, it will work thru surface skin cells --- "contact with that person’s eyes, nose or mouth" are NOT required ... ie an opportunistic site is not required.

(*That link refers back to Dr. Erica Saphire - it *does not* refer to where I read about the types of cells, penetrated by EBOLA.)

But, it does seem that simply human gestures are often the culprit that transfers EBOLA to the vulnerable mucosa / wounds.
