I'm not sure how much room there is for "internet 'news' sources" to spread misinformation, at least in a populace who accepts the germ theory of disease, even if most are fuzzy on viri vs. bacteria. Nigeria's recent Ebola experience gives us hope that the best supportive care can reduce the death rate to something below 50%, they had 20 cases, 19 lab confirmed, 8 deaths. But for the time being it's still inevitably going to be very deadly, although mutations to less severe forms would be advantageous. Whereas to truly airborne would take multiple ones, we're pretty sure, and is very unlikely. Although not 0%, but real close. That's probably where there's harm that can be done, but as this article and discussion note, we don't really know the truth now. I suppose that the currently inept internal US response could lead to people giving credence to "it transmits like the flu!" (which per the above is neither true nor likely to become so). Certainly people including ones claiming to be doctors are saying that now in "internet 'news' sources" ... are people believing that? (I and my family know too much medicine and biology for that.)
