Outbreak was a pathetic movie.  Dismiss it.  The Hot Zone mentioned that
there was the POSSIBILITY that Ebola-Reston was air-borne.  There was
no proof.

Reduce the level of fear?

>Once and for all, can it be spread via the air?

Dunno.  Due to the high death percentages, I would guess that the 
strains that we have encountered so-far are *NOT* air-borne.  If they
were, I would expect the death-count to be much higher.
