Tell that to the Army. They have it in their 2011 manual.

I just downloaded and read the manual. They do say aerosolized as in "These instances have prompted concern of a rare phenomenon of aerosol transmission of infection" in the context of a patient who is bleeding out. Obviously the proper procedure for treating patients in that state is sealed, pressurized suits which we did not do in Dallas.

Interestingly right after that they say "Clinical laboratory personnel are at significant risk for exposure and should employ a biosafety cabinet ..." It could be that blood samples from Duncan were not handled properly and infected the victim aboard the cruise ship.

I'll have to give up on the argument about the term "aerosolized" but continue to stress that any virus including Ebola can be airborne in certain conditions.
