Going to go look it up, but I am pretty sure ebola doesn’t have an airborne human to human vector.

ebola is a contact/ bodily fluids/ contaminated environment AFAIK.

Google and CDC are my friends. BRB.

Point is, not sure it would spread like a Hanta or novel H1N1 would.

Correct. In this current outbreak the spread has reportedly been caused by people eating bats.

Correct, but infected people leak bodily fluids. So a sneeze, cough, blood dripping, and so on spread the disease. Very easy to transfer to caregivers if precautions are not taken.
