[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1179711, member: 18945"] Not exactly----and "not yet". It is true, that this virus can't live more than a very few minutes (seconds? ) in air so it isn't transmitted from surfaces like flu and cold virus are most commonly transmitted, but it is also true, that ebola can be spread by aerosol droplets--the 2nd most common way cold and flu are spread------ie--being sneezed or coughed on by an infected person. And, the more geographical locations any virus crops up at, the more environments it encounters. As this happens, it increases the chance that this pathogen (or any other) will mutate and living things almost always mutate and almost always mutate in such a way to increase their own survival. The mutation to being air transmittable (if it occurs) will most likely take place while it is in a dormant stage--in the wild in it's reservoir host. [/QUOTE]
