In early August the CDC issued guidance to airlines about how to handle a passenger who might be infected with Ebola.

One of their “suggestions” was:

Providing the sick passenger with a surgical mask, if possible, to reduce the emission of bodily fluids into the air.

AKA was preventing the spread of the illness through expelled bodily fluids found in coughs and sneezes. If this isn’t the spread of Ebola through the air, I don’t know what is.

All that is going on is an argument over details - not denying the actual facts.

Arguing over the details? Like the POTUS back in 1998 when he defined sexual relationship? Or like Obama when he said that some mysterious phantom enemies want him to suck oil through a straw? Again, this arguin over details is pretty stupid, if you ask me. Couldn’t putting a mask on someone with the flu prevent them from spreading it too. We can argue over how long various viruses stay airborne, but that is rediculous. It’s important to go above an beyond what we know in precautions against a disease such as Ebola.
