Are you really trying to provoke a panic?  Will you KINDLY SHUT THE 
HELL UP until 
a) there is any evidence WHATSOEVER that Ebola is aerosol 
transmitted;
b) there is any evidence the nuns/whoever who went back to Italy are 
infected?

Learn a little electronic responsibility, and STOP SHOOTING YOUR 
MOUTH OFF without evidence.

ESPECIALLY if you are not a virologist / medic.
