Why Won't the Fear of Airborne Ebola Go Away?

"How many times do top officials have to say that the Ebola virus is not airborne?"

"A lot, apparently."

"Here is President Obama Thursday: 'This is not an airborne disease. It is not easy to catch.'"

"And the day before: 'It is not like the flu. It is not airborne.'"

"And Friday, a reporter asked the inevitable question about airborne Ebola when Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, held a press briefing about nurse Nina Pham's transfer to the National Institute of Health."
