It would seem prudent to assume Ebola is transmittable in aerosol form, and it astounds me that we're approaching Ebola with what seems to be astounding optimism. We're doing less than we should across the the board and hoping it will be enough. We should throw everything we have at it, lest we see what it really can achieve at global scale. The greatest threat to millions of lives in this case is our arrogance and optimism. As the authors of this paper suggest, a minimum requirement for all healthcare workers should be respiratory equipment capable of ensuring they're not inhaling Ebola. Furthermore we need a lot more treatment centers in outbreak areas, and a lot more staff (doctors and nurses, etc.). But from where I sit it looks like we're trying to put out a bon fire with a bottle of water.
