It is clearly not full airborne like the common cold or the flu, else half the world would now be infected. However, it is clearly somewhere in between that and what the Centers for Disease Transmission have staked ALL OF OUR LIVES ON, namely, “not transmissible by any means other than direct contact.
If the latter were true, how did the nurse in Dallas get it, despite being in a bio/hazmat suit? Aerosolized both makes sense from a medical POV and sounds “just right” in terms of splitting the difference...which bodes rather ill for the rest of us because it is more contagious than we thought (and that’s before additional mutations, which apparently occur in literally every body that is infected.

I agree completely and it makes more sense that if she used a plain face mask or even a N-95 face mask, it didn't provide protection for fine aerosol particles. So, she could have followed all CDC protocols and still got infected. The CDC needs to recognize the danger from not using proper respirators when working closely with these patients. Of course, stating that method of transmission (airborne in aerosols) would cause panic by those who see everyone with a cough as an Ebola victim. Therefore CDC and the other doctors on the networks (including Fox) have to continue with the non-airborne meme in spite of increasing evidence to the contrary.

(BTW, I used an air-purifying respirator last year in clearing out Hanta-virus carrying deer mice from my garage. That virus is about 50-70% fatal to those contracting it.)

Good precaution. However, it isn't the mice that are the problem, it is their dried feces - which, like asbestos - deliver particles through the air once disturbed. Of course, I'd suspect that dried mouse bodies would do the same.
