Ebola transmission by aerosols confirmed: virus survives for days outside infected hosts - NaturalNews.com

Check, you don't have to shake hands to get it. Say an infected person uses the lab mid flight and gets some nasal discharge on the flush handle or sink or sneezes in the room. Ebola, according to the Canadian Public Health Service, "can live for days outside the host on surfaces". I've read it's only hours from other sources. But the bottom line is if an infected person uses the lave and touches the door knob leaving if you subsequently use that lav you are at risk.

The decision not to close the borders to Ebola infested nations is a political one related to the fight over amnesty and our failure to secure our borders generally IMHO.
