Here's my case: you made your alarmist "case", such as it is, by posting a junk article from a junk, far-right blog whose other charming entries include: -9/11

Here's my case: you made your alarmist "case", such as it is, by posting a junk article from a junk, far-right blog whose other charming entries include:
-9/11 truther articles
-racist crap about Ebola spreading over the Mexican border because of insufficient efforts to secure said border
-several other non-scientific articles about Ebola
-an article about "Obama's Ukrainian stooges"
If you want to make your case, find one cite--just one will do--from a legitimate publication of any kind.

"We believe there is scientific and epidemiologic evidence that Ebola virus has the potential to be transmitted via infectious aerosol particles both near and at a distance from infected patients, which means that healthcare workers should be wearing respirators, not facemasks."
- Bud 12y agoThank you. I very much appreciate that additional cite.
- lhnz 12y agoI did a quick google and found this: http://virologydownunder.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/ebola-virus-may-be-spread-by-droplets.html http://virologydownunder.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/ebola-virus-... It has legitimate publications inside it so it looks like the possibility is quite justified. It seems that the term "airborne" is very specific and droplets might exist in the air even if it's not considered airborne. (I'm not saying that droplets can be found in the air, but simply that it's not fully confirmed and that this is the reason why they recommend respiratory masks.)
