It shows that Ebola is very likely contained in Saliva. Saliva is expelled as droplets into the air when people sneeze or cough, like the common cold. Ebola virus easily infects through mucous membranes such as the eyes, the nose and mouth or open sores / breaks in the skin. Is Ebola airborne? You tell me. I don't think you need a degree in science to figure it out. Hardly anybody dies from a cold. Statistics show that most people die from Ebola. So does that mean that surgical masks, goggles and rubber gloves will now be de rigeur on airplanes, buses, trains, restaurants, bars, hotels and pretty much every place else where people share spaces with strangers?
