The NBC cameraman who became infected, did so by hosing out the car of a victim who was transported in it. A water drop rebounded into his eye - enough to give him the disease. Therefore, coughing and sneezing can indeed transmit the disease. Or, a person could cough into his/her hand, and then touch a doorknob. If a second person touched the same doorknob, and then rubbed his/her eye, picked his nose, or scratched the skin enough to expose the under layer of skin, the disease would be transmitted.

These modes of transmission are not that hard to figure out, once you throw away political correctness and apply some very basic logic.

Nina Pham started her treatment right away, has Brantly’s blood, and is still downgraded.

Amber Vinson likely had symptoms when she flew to Cleveland but appears she may be in the 5 day window.

She doesn’t want any information disclosed about her condition so who knows about her other than “stable”

NBC cameraman Ashoka doesn’t know how he contracted the disease. He did not have direct contact with an infected person’s body fluid. He did, however, wash a car wearing some protective gear and speculates he might have gotten in second hand.

Has anyone discussed the possibility of a rapture virus? Is it the good or the bad that are taken away?
