my post of above link contained this text:

"Contrary to popular belief, ebolaviruses are not transmitted by aerosol during natural EVD outbreaks."

whereas, the use of a pressure washer to clean up a potential biohazard site is indeed a hot focus, the debate about aerosol transmission can be cross referenced as well. i guess we will have to wait and see how bad it gets...but in the meantime it is best to use caution as there is an incubation period and if this is coming from overseas then why aren't proper quarantine methods being used. heck, my dog was quarantined for 2 weeks in frankfurt back in '91!

Abstract

In theory, influenza viruses can be transmitted through aerosols, large droplets, or direct contact with secretions (or fomites). These 3 modes are not mutually exclusive. Published findings that support the occurrence of aerosol transmission were reviewed to assess the importance of this mode of transmission. Published evidence indicates that aerosol transmission of influenza can be an important mode of transmission, which has obvious implications for pandemic influenza planning and in particular for recommendations about the use of N95 respirators as part of personal protective equipment.
