        @BoingBoing @instapundit This isn't all that reassuring or even necessarily accurate. They suspect aerosol transmission with this ebola.

        @BoingBoing Other facts about Ebola: it's incurable; has a lengthy incubation time; poorly understood transmission mechanism

        @BoingBoing @Jackthelad1947 Very misleading Ebola advice. It's not 'airborne' in scientific terms, but microscopic fluids can be. eg sneeze.

        @BoingBoing @instapundit If it poses "no significant risk" then those doctors in Atlanta were stupid for using that isolation unit huh

        @BoingBoing @instapundit Ebola is known to spread in humans by oral contact with body fluids, and in animals by eating fruits fed on by bats

        @dschumann0 @BoingBoing @instapundit Agree. It's a subjective 'in general' thing, eg Nuclear Waste. It's not dangerous unless u are exposed

        @BoingBoing @instapundit "You can't get Ebola through food" wtf -- sharing food w/ a contaminated person is a very plausible vector

        @BoingBoing @instapundit The first statement is true of many important diseases, and doesn't in any way lead to the second statement.
