In a lengthy document that received nearly no media attention, a U.S. government agency has warned preliminary data shows Ebola is aerostable, meaning it can survive in the air and potentially be transmitted via airborne means.
The document was released in a federal government announcement seeking research proposals from private firms for Ebola treatment and diagnosis tools, including for the rapid disinfection of an “aerosol” version of the virus.
The announcement indicates that despite its public pronouncements to the contrary, the government is concerned the virus can spread through the air via vaporized bodily fluids.
There has been fear a patient can potentially self-vaporize Ebola through a strong sneeze, projectile vomiting or the flushing of a toilet.
The information was contained in a 33-page report released Oct. 24 by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, the Department of Defense’s Combat Support Agency for countering weapons of mass destruction.
The agency report states “preliminary studies indicate that Ebola is aerostable in an enclosed controlled system in the dark and can survive for long periods in different liquid media and can also be recovered from plastic and glass surfaces at low temperatures for over 3 weeks.”
The report says the government is seeking technologies for the “rapid disinfection” of Ebola, including an aerosol version of the virus.
“The technology must prove effective against viral contamination either deposited as an aerosol or heavy contaminated combined with body fluids,” reads the solicitation document.
The document further states Ebola “can survive for long periods in different liquid media and can also be recovered from plastic and glass surfaces at low temperatures for over 3 weeks.”

I was one of the first on FR to make the point about transmission by aerosols.

This article is additional confirmation.
Oh please. Planning doesn’t make something true. Every single non-airborne virus is studied for the possibility of it going airborne.
Ridiculous fear-mongering.
Ebola has 5 variants (at least).
And one is airborne - Reston.
What is your point?
The troll returns....
Aerosol....he’s talking about the 3’ sneeze and that was verified in the Congressional Hearings by CDC Doctors, as well as that it could live on surfaces for hours...the suspicion was days due to Airlines severely cleaning the planes over and over.
So the point is you are wrong and Our Poster is right.
Must be nice living in fairyland where what you want to believe must be true.
By your "argument" the enterovirus 68 can't be here from the illegals because the HHS says there is no evidence of it - while conveniently omitting the part where they actually tested the masses of illegals for it.
It teleports right through walls.
I am somewhat surprised the media hasn’t picked up on the Reston issue.
I wonder if this is related?

The time of spread is NOT 21 days, and Obola and CDC know it.
incubation.
I do not know how they agreed on that time-frame.
The graphs above suggest the Obola and the EXEMPT
“made it up” to bring Ebola as a bio WMD into America,
just as they did with EV-D68.
That is not science. That is murder by treason.
Who is ‘Our Poster’ ?
EV-D68 wasn’t planned as a bio-weapon.
It was a known ‘inconvenience’ that our political leaders decided they would just ignore.
The general public regards anything in the air as airborne while the CDC publicly denies it as it it doesn't fit the medical definition of airborne.
For all practical purposes this thing sure acts as its airborne and should be treated as such within its somewhat limited range.
FR's very own poop-pooer ex-spurts will be here to deny it in...
Wait. What? They're here already???
The NSA must be giving the disease deniers a direct feed!
Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your......
(Since all records of obama's past were lost in a tragic boating accident and fire, no one can be certain that the guy in the red circle isn't him...)
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
These morons. Anyone with marginal reasoning capabilities figgered this out long ago, that coughing, breathing hard (during workouts, heavy physical exercise) etc., can eject this into the air for short distances.
