You don’t necessarily have to breath in saliva from a sneeze or a vomit spray or a wheeze or even an normal exhalation which contains body fluid- but a droplet of fluid touching your skin or a surface that you touch then becomes a vector

Anywhere you can expect to find e coli you can expect to find ebola virus- and that’s pretty much everywhere on a normal day

why do you think shopping carts now have hand sanitary wipes?

Whorld Health Organization: Ebola virus disease

http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs103/en/

Ebola virus disease (EVD), formerly known as Ebola haemorrhagic fever, is a severe, often fatal illness in humans.

The current outbreak in west Africa, (first cases notified in March 2014), is the largest and most complex Ebola outbreak since the Ebola virus was first discovered in 1976. There have been more cases and deaths in this outbreak than all others combined. It has also spread between countries starting in Guinea then spreading across land borders to Sierra Leone and Liberia, by air (1 traveller only) to Nigeria, and by land (1 traveller) to Senegal. ... and now in US (my add)

The incubation period, that is, the time interval from infection with the virus to onset of symptoms is 2 to 21 days. Humans are not infectious until they develop symptoms. First symptoms are the sudden onset of fever fatigue, muscle pain, headache and sore throat. This is followed by vomiting, diarrhoea, rash, symptoms of impaired kidney and liver function, and in some cases, both internal and external bleeding (e.g. oozing from the gums, blood in the stools).


And check out the table of Ebola outbreaks and fatality rates at the bottom of the article
