The authors state twice in the article that they cannot tell if it was aerosolized, airborne, or if the pigs were coughing and spitting! The monkeys' cages were placed 8 inches away from the pigs - I think a lot of us on here have fish longer than that! Also, the monkeys stayed there 24/7, 8 inches away from coughing animals (which the article also points out are bigger shedding and aerosol producers than any other mammal), for a week before falling ill. Air samplers situated 2 feet away from the pigs ran for 30 minutes, and recovered no virus particles. Yes, it is non-direct transmission, but you cannot conclude that it is airborne, either.

Considering that at least in humans, the symptoms can appear after 21 days, the disease appearing two weeks after exposure does not say much.

The article says the disease caused by the same virus in pigs is different than the primates.

It does not say mutation.

Of course pigs are notorious carriers of mutated virus, mainly in the flu family. I don't know if flu virus and Ebola virus can freely exchange genetic materials or not, but if they can, then that would be bad.

you think those might have been hospital workers or security.. just because dude doesn't look like Barney Fife doesn't mean he isn't "official"...most likely those "bystanders " were EXACTLY WHERE THEY WERE SUPPOSED to be.... once again ...did you see any close up cell phone vids ... like EVERY other news story...nope...reason? there wasn't ANYBODY besides necessary personel on site ...IF the MEDIA would have been ALLOWED they would have cameras inside the quarantine suites ,,, you gotta know that .... but believe anything you want even the ludicrous , that seems to be the common denominator in this thread.... maybe it will be space aliens that infect us ..... it's easy to discount the obvious when you want something to go wrong (so you can complain about the lousy.".fill in the blank")

I don't care what their job is...they are human beings and were NOT wearing anything protective.
 
The doctors who were treating ebola patients may have not been careful, all it takes is for someone to cough blood on a doctor's face and he's probably screwed.

Well, we all need gas masks, shotguns and AR-15s, and stock piles of home grown American food and we will beat Ebola. I'm already prepared, how about everyone else….

who appointed you boss man? give borg credit , he knows a valid point when he sees one.. even if he doesn't agree...most of my posts are pretty much tongue in cheek on this thread but the idea that this doctor (in a plastic bubble) is gonna spread a disease is sheer folly...the only way ebola is going to get into the country is by unidentified , un-diagnosed carriers...you have to really think the cdc is incapable of tending their business , and that would be in direct conflict with the history of the institution..CMON ..somebody show me where they have ever CAUSED an outbreak...it HASN'T happened ,EVER...but that's the beauty of being a conspiracy theory guy..you don't want or need evidence to know that something bad is in the works ..just a hatred or fear of people or events
