The potential for transmission via inhalation of aerosols, therefore, cannot be ruled out by the observed risk factors or our knowledge of the infection process. Many body fluids, such as vomit, diarrhea, blood, and saliva, are capable of creating inhalable aerosol particles There's a big difference in droplets and aerosols (flosting viruses or viruses on dust or floating particles). Ebola only survives in droplets. That's why 46 passengers on the plane into Nigeria did not get infected but one woman died (sitting next to Sawyer) and the flight attendants who cleaned up his bloody vomit died.

There's a big difference in droplets and aerosolsThat is true, and a big point that most people miss.
The virus has to be able to reduce it's weight to be small enough to be aerosolized. Or change it's shape.
