Take a look at this informative posting about how far Ebola aerosols might travel:
This week, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) admitted that Ebola can travel through the air in aerosols, but claims that it can never go more than 3 feet.
But engineers at MIT show that sneezes can actually travel up to 200 times farther than previously thought ... up to 20 feet.

Is CDC wrong again? Are they relying on old science, or what?
Frankly, I am getting tired of a government that appears to be manipulating the facts for dogmatic reasons (i.e., to justify their "no travel ban, no quarantine" demand).
And yes, Professor Caplan, this is yet another reason why we can't trust public health officials, science, and the ethics of doctors and nurses.
And by the way, I'll listen to what UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has to say about our quarantines when Israel admits that the occupied territories actually are "occupied territories" and conforms to all UN resolutions.
