[please see my latest posts- apparently it’s not just blood to blood contact according to the CDC in the link i posted- There are other studies that suggest what the CDC stated too-
There is evidence it’s not just in a person’s blood- it’s also in other bodily fluids like saliva, milk, etc- Here’s a vox article on it- in the article, they have several links to studies dun to show that it can live in other fluids- and spread apparently-

Also in africa- it’s not being spread solely by open wounds- which is why it slams areas and those working on infected patients-
Mostly it is through blood to blood contact- but it can also apparently spread through other bodily fluids and contact- a person touching a door knob or shopping cart handle where vomit, or sneeze material lands and then touches their eye can evidently spread it as the ebola transmits through the mucus membranes
Ebola is a hemorraghic fever, it’s victims are bleeding out of every imaginable orifice. Medical personnel have a hard time not coming into contact with a patient’s blood in the primitive rural clinics in Africa. They don’t have enough protective clothing, they have to reuse it. That’s why it gets passed to them.
Mother Abigail who used to post here worked on Ebola. She didn’t regard it as a major threat because it isn’t highly contagious. The disease she did consider a major threat is hybrid flu. The bird flus and swine flus that cross with human flu. Those are extremely easy to pass along and they are often killers. 1918 was a swine flu. This Covid virus isn’t a flu but it is just as contagious. If it’s a killer then we have a problem.
