The Reston Monkey Die Off back in the 80’s was a case of Ebola that was proven to be airborne.

With cages that were 20cm apart.

1. How long can it live on a hard surface?
2. Are there any surfaces that reduce its viability?
3. Does sunlight or UV light kill it?
4. If so, how fast?
5. What substances kill the virus on surfaces?
6. What foods, vitamins, spirits, beverages found in the market kill the virus, if any (quinine was effective on yellow fever)

1. Up to 6 days when it stays damp, probably a few hours in most cases. Cooler temperatures help maintain the virus (e.g. 40F).
2. Bleach or detergent kills it because of the viral envelope
3, 4, Presumably UV kills it but probably not much quicker than drying.
5. see 2.
6. I think zinc is a good antiviral in the blood stream. There are survivors who drank lots of some stuff I never heard of http://www.academia.edu/8376294/HOW_TO_SURVIVE_EBOLA_VIRUS_EBOLA_SURVIVAL_STORY

With cages separated by entire rooms. It traveled through the vent system and killed monkeys in two rooms.

“presumably” and “probably” are words antithetical to fact.

‘definitely’ and ‘the evidence proves’ are the words I’m looking for.
