Sorry, I don't know how to make a live link.

Right and it proves unless I come in contact with a body fluid I can't get it. Breathing in the air of someone who has it WILL NOT give it to me. I MUST come in contact with a body fluid whether it is a sneeze, cough or other body excretions.
From the article:
Ebola is not like the flu. You're not going to catch the disease from simply being across the room from someone who has it.
Basically every health agency in the world agrees on this point. In order to catch Ebola, you have to come in contact with bodily fluids — such as sweat, saliva, vomit, or diarrhea — of someone who already has Ebola and is exhibiting symptoms. (A person who is infected but not yet showing symptoms generally isn't infectious.)
And yet, remarkably, many readers have been unconvinced by this point. They keep e-mailing and pointing to a 2012 paper finding that, in a single laboratory study, Ebola spread from pigs to monkeys that hadn't directly touched each other. Some readers claim this paper is proof that Ebola can travel miles through the air to kill people.
Those claims are wrong — but what does the study really say? To find out, I called up the first author of that study, Hana Weingartl, a scientist at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
But just because this happened between pigs and monkeys doesn't mean it's likely to happen between people. The big difference is that pigs cough and sneeze a lot when they're sick with Ebola — way more than people do.
This pretty much explains it all, you don't get respiratory sypmtoms from ebola so coughing and sneezing is not likely to happen as much as pigs.

Here is another article which was linked to on your article. http://scienceblogs.com/aetiology/2012/11/19/pig-to-monkey-ebola-is-there-something-in-the-air/
BTW, believe what you want go buy a package of masks and wear them out in public and while you are at it wear a hazmat suit. I really don't care. Again, if this was a true airbonre disease every person who was in the same area of the person would be sick and this simply is not happening and furthermore even those who came in direct connact with this person have shown NO signs of being infected.

Not likely to does not mean can't or won't. It means can. not likely but can

same people who say different steps of evolution not likely but absolutely did.

Then Reggie why aren't more people getting sick? Explain it or is it part of the conspiracy. If you have it and we are standing in the same room I am not going to get it unless I somehow come in contact with your bodily fluids.

The people the guy came into contact with are STILL in quarantine.

I am not a conspiracy theorist. I don't see conspiracies around every corner. You can just call me your friendly skeptic or devil's advocate. I just don't automatically believe anything just because people say it is so. I sure am not saying it is airborne in the scientific since. But when they have talked about that it has the ability to mutate and become airborne just in the same way the swine flu did. It doesn't mean it will but it could. All I am saying is that everyone needs to be careful. Be truly aware of possibilities. Has Government agencies ever with held information. Yes. They do it all the time and for various reasons. Is your reasoning always going to agree with them? I doubt it. I would rather have 100% of information and decide for myself. Do they do that no. They carefully go through and decide what information to release to get desired effects. A person who doesn't think so needs to go back and study history. Every nation has. Their motivations are not always with evil intent. Sometimes trying to prevent mass hysteria they undersell the dangers because you would have mass panic. And why do that if the likely hood or immediate danger is almost non existent. Do I agree with that Philosophy? Do you. Do you agree with misinformation just to keep people from mass hysteria? To me a lie is a lie. Misinformation is treating people like idiots.

Then when he was transported via ambulance absolutely zero precautions were taken and his nephew said he had to personally call CDC to get the hospital to treat the man as an Ebola patient.....the hospital where they have been put on alert for Ebola acted like he had collick or something. So there is a fine line between being paranoid and being stupid, putting many more people at risk than should have been. But that's OK, because criminal charges are being considered to be brought against the man...that is if he survives. Guess they can't bring criminal charges against the hospital staff and first responders for being stupid. There was blood on his sheets where he was lying, the EMTs should have realized that blood wasn't there because the man was having his period. They were told BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR EBOLA......HEMORAGIC FEVER.
