"Coughing, sneezing" spread of Ebola, flu nearly identical, according to CDC documents
Ebola spreads through coughing and sneezing much like influenza, which most experts agree is spread “mainly by droplets made when people with flu cough, sneeze or talk,” according to documents by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
A new CDC flyer describing the “droplet spread” of Ebola, which “happens when germs traveling inside droplets that are coughed or sneezed from a sick person,” is nearly identical to the CDC’s description of influenza which states “most experts think that flu viruses are spread mainly by droplets made when people with flu cough, sneeze or talk.”
“Droplet spread happens when germs traveling inside droplets that are coughed or sneezed from a sick person enter the eyes, nose, or mouth of another person,” the CDC Ebola flyer states, which was released on Monday. “Droplets travel short distances, less than 3 feet (1 meter) from one person to another. A person might also get infected by touching a surface or object that has germs on it and then touching their mouth or nose.”
“Droplet spread diseases include: plague, Ebola.”

Obama says this isn't true. You've got to believe him, he's a Democrat.
What has failed to be mentioned here is that, unlike flu or plague, etc which needs on the magnitude of 50-100 thousand germs to be passed along and incubate, ebola needs only 6-10 single germs to begin incubation.
It spreads when Barry intentionally puts people in harms way in an attempt to help his birth land.
The flyer actually says the opposite of the title of this post: Ebola does not spread like the cold. It is not airborne?
Fear Monger much?
