A week ago, the CDC claimed you could get Ebola from ‘droplets’ from sneezes at up to six feed away. However, according to the Gateway Pundit, they’ve changed yet again. Apparently, now you can’t get Ebola from sneezing or coughing. What changed in the last week? Oh yea, the election is coming out.
There is no evidence that Ebola is spread by coughing or sneezing. Ebola is transmitted through direct contact with the blood or body fluids of a person who is sick with Ebola; the virus is not transmitted through the air (like measles virus). However, large droplets (splashes or sprays) of respiratory or other secretions from a person who is sick with Ebola could be infectious, and therefore certain precautions (called standard, contact, and droplet precautions) are recommended for use in healthcare settings to prevent the transmission of Ebola from patients to healthcare personnel and other patients or family members.

The science is settled or something.
