I keep looking for signs that this virus is airborn and don't find it.  Do we have any proof this is airborn, how does it spread?

I certainly can't believe anything that comes out of Uganda since they lied about the breakout in the first place. 

Kinda reminds me of China , they certaqianly don't want anything happening to interfear with their Olympics.

Wouldn't it be nice to find a politician that can speak without a forked tongue.

Ebola, in the known form, is spread by body fluids. Because the person bleeds so much you have to be careful to not get anything on you. The healthcare workers were just making sure they were protected from fluids. The masks they would have been using wouldn't have been graded for an airborne virus. The assumption is the virus has become airborne because so many of the healthcare workers have become ill.
