What do you mean by “easily”? Do you mean it’s not airborne?

  It's not airborne. From the article: > The germ is hardy, capable of remaining active in water for a month, in meat and blood at room temperature for several months and for six years in cold, dark conditions. It’s resistant to temperature extremes, and can survive a day in vinegar-strength acids. Ebola's only active for several days at room temperature. https://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/transmission/index.html https://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/transmission/index.html

    And is most commonly transmitted via blood and vomit - two things common with Ebola patients but are more easily controlled for when the illness is known.

    That's close to anthrax levels of nasty. Sometimes cattle in California and Nevada come down with anthrax even though the disease hasn't been endemic for 100 years.

    I didn't say it was, I was asking GP to define what he meant by "easily".
