Or ride an airplane, Hit the flight attendant call button (or air vent, or fold down tray, or...), rub your eye. You just infected yourself.

If Ebola worked like that, the infection rate in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea would be much, much, much higher.

The fact is, it cannot be as contagious as the flu. At least in the earlier stages. Duncan’s family would’ve all been infected. We’d already have cases from the guy who went bowling.

In the later stages, it’s highly contagious. We know this because healthcare workers are easily infected.

The problem is that nobody knows where the magic line really is.
