I just randomly sneezed, and spray went all over my desk and monitor...

um... that's bodily fluid...

wouldn't that kind of thing spread Ebola victims “bodily fluids” to others?

I can just imagine some ebola person on a bus, subway or train .... one sneeze like I just had... and bodily fluids of theirs would be all over everyone nearby.

Yes it would. Thats why there is an isolation called droplet precautions. As far as I know the CDC is not recommending droplet precautions, only contact isolation. Pretty cavalier.

Noro virus is also contact isolation. Every time we have a case in the hospital you can count on 1/2 the staff on the floor coming down with it in the next 48 hours, then it runs through the staff of the entire hospital....

A very good Kindergarten lesson plan about germs, is to take glitter and put in your hand (palm up, and enough that the kids can see, but you aren’t on the ground for an hour cleaning it up, lol) but then pretend to sneeze into the palm of your hand (exhale like a sneeze so a force of air blows across your palm). The glitter will disperse like germs. (not completely, but enough for Kinder kids to understand). The kinder kids will see the glitter blow into the air and land on desks, chairs, counters, toys, floor, etc. Then we’d talk about germs. They could see how far germs traveled from a sneeze or a cough.
