This Ebola Virus has become a magnanimous world threat , as the death
toll from Ebola reaches 3,800, specialist are warning that the virus could
mutate and become airborne, that is to say it could be caught by
breathing it in. Although health officials tell us that the Virus that causes Ebola cannot be transmitted through air and can only be spread through direct contact with bodily fluids of an infected person who is developing symptoms.
But now on the contrary several paramount Ebola researchers claim that the possibilities of the virus mutating becoming airborne shouldn't be ruled out.
Virus expert Charles L. Bailey, who in
1989 helped the American government tackle an outbreak of Ebola among
rhesus monkeys being used for research, told the LA Times:
'We know for a fact that the virus occurs in sputum and no one has ever
done a study [disproving that] coughing or sneezing is a viable means
of transmitting.
