Health Warning
October 8, 2014
According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Tom Frieden, the Ebola virus might be airborne.
"It's the single greatest concern I've ever had in my 40-year public health career," said Dr. Michael Osterholm, director of the
Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota. "I can't imagine anything in my career- and this
includes HIV- that would be more devastating to the world than a respiratory transmissible Ebola virus."
Experts are increasingly expressing fears that the Ebola virus can spread through droplets suspended in the air. This would explain the
unprecedented increase in the number of Ebola cases in 2014. You probably didn't hear about it on the corporate news, but a little less
than 2 months ago the CDC updated their criteria for Ebola transmission to include "being within 3 feet" or "in the same room" as someone
infected with the virus.
