Hardly. It doesn't spread that easily.
And if it is ...
I for one, welcome our Ebola-laden overlords.

Depends on who you listen to, or which side of their face the CDC is talking out of at any particular moment.

I've read numerous articles from varying sources about this just this morning. The reports are all over the place. They're more worried about containing panic than they are about containing the Ebola virus.

But don't worry: seems it's highly unlikely that anyone could come into contact with infected persons on a flight because said infected persons would be too sick to travel. Well, except that one guy that one time. Patient Almost Zero.

The great thing about Ebola is that soap kills it.

I've heard that the gestation period is up to 21 days, that it is not contagious unless the victim is symptomatic (fever, etc.), and that it is spread through body fluids.

Don't bite the corpses, you'll be fine.

We had an ebola scare a few weeks ago. At our local hospital in fact. The one near all the tourist parks here on the Gold Coast.

Yeah, turned out to be something else.
