Ebola transmits very much like the bubonic plague and cholera bacteriums--mostly due to poor sanitary conditions. That's why cholera is still a problem in the Third World and you still get bubonic plague outbreaks every now and then in the Third World. Indeed, that's why if a waste water sewage treatment plant breaks down, health officials immediately dread the possibility of a cholera outbreak.
The countries that REALLY need to dread the arrival of Ebola are China and India, where a high population density and poor sanitary conditions (by First World standards) could cause runaway Ebola epidemics in both countries.

I’m most concerned with the virus getting into native animal populations- bats (a suspected vector in Africa), squirrels, rats, possums.
We’d never be free of it then.

Why does the CDC want everyone on the Frontier flight to contact them? This disease poses no threat unless bodily fluids are exchanged.
I do believe this is the current position of the CDC. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Oh wow. China and India hadn’t really occurred to me. Face-Palm.
