The longer the Ebola epidemic continues infecting people unabated, the higher the chances it will mutate and become airborne, the UN's Ebola response chief has warned.
Anthony Banbury, the Secretary General's Special Representative, has said there is a 'nightmare' prospect the deadly disease will become airborne if it continues infecting new hosts.
His comments come as organisations battling the crisis in West Africa warned the international community has just four weeks to stop its spread before it spirals 'completely out of control'.
And the British nurse who survived the disease said the 'horror and misery' of watching young children die from the disease must be avoided 'at all costs'.

And they don't even know whether it is airborne or not.. Or how it is ACTUALLY transmitted.
Medical information in the 60s had already identified this disease as possibly airborne under certain circumstances. Did we forget all that we had learned or are we just being lied to???
A sneeze is airborne bodily fluids!
If an infected person sneezes or coughs, his body fluids are airborne... what kind of idiot does not understand this??
And it will travel much faster because of global warming.
UN ebola chief? What is that? A position now?
