From your link....
Someone pointed out that in medical terms, if the virus is transferred through tiny droplets in the air this would technically not be called an “airborne virus”. Airborne, in medical terms would mean that the virus has the ability to stay alive without a liquid carrier. On one hand this is a question of semantics, and the point is well taken, but keep in mind that the study did not officially determine how the virus traveled through the air, it merely established that it does travel through the air.

As far as I’m concerned, that’s airborne enough to do the job. To heck with their “technicalities”. This stuff is spreading far too fast to think otherwise, imho. ]

There seems this variety can survive in airborne particles.

The nurse in Spain and others early on where taking precautions - but no one was using a SCBA...seems this virus can survive and transmit from infected host to others nearby by hitching a ride on minute particles (coughing, sneezing, etc)

Treatment/ Prevention:

“She was treated with oral rehydration solution, vitamin C, intravenous calcium, and papaverine”

I would also throw in there as a prevention - probiotics - for a healthy gut! I’m not saying you can’t get any viruses - but way make it easy for it to take hold. A strong immune system will help one recover than one that is compromised.

It is “airborne” - but not in the “medical” definition sense.....

Health is good, but Ebola attacks the immune system. Healthy gut bacteria will mostly help against bad bacteria. To fight ebola you will need antivirals in your blood. Zinc is a good start.

“but no one was using a SCBA”

What is that? Is it a self-contained breathing apparatus?
