As usual, upchuck doesn’t know how to read past a headline.
The headline reads:
Limited airborne transmission of Ebola is ‘very likely,’ new analysis says
upchuck shouts out his vindication:
Washington Post vindicates what I had been saying about ebola for months! It can go airborne! http://t.co/WRttJYNCGl

The actual article says (bolding mine):
“It is very likely that at least some degree of Ebola virus transmission currently occurs via infectious aerosols generated from the gastrointestinal tract, the respiratory tract, or medical procedures, although this has been difficult to definitively demonstrate or rule out, since those exposed to infectious aerosols also are most likely to be in close proximity to, and in direct contact with, an infected case,”
The paper, titled ‘Transmission of Ebola Viruses: What We Know and What We Do Not Know,” takes pains to note that respiratory transmission of Ebola is unproven …
The review itself points out that “to date, investigators have not identified respiratory spread (either via large droplets or small-particle aerosols) of Ebola viruses among humans.
