" if you're not in a housing unit sharing air with people who are infected, you're pretty safe."
Certainly true - but, it's important to note that ebola is not airborne. You can safely sit beside someone with ebola, and as long as they don't throw up on you, and you don't touch any body fluids - you are also pretty safe.

The summary describes it as large fluid droplets being passed through the air (airborne in this sense being a gradient rather than yes/no). http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-20341423 http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-20341423
