Spreading Ebola is not easy, it's about the same as spreading AIDs, although somewhat easier. So basically, as long as no one gets their bodily fluids on you within the next few weeks, you'll be ok.

Well slightly easier then aids:p From what i remember its contact with bodily fluids in general, and not into an open wound or orfice either:p Thats why familys in africa that mourned the dead with rituals that involved touching the body spread the desease:p

Man, if ebola ever got world-widespread id rather kill myself than suffering several days of bleeding from every orifice in my body while having my inner organs(GI-track, liver, etc) turned into a big pile of goo...
I also remember hearing that someone found a possible cure for ebola by turning off a specific protein in the cell walls or something of the like

One of the best books i have ever read was a Tom Clancy novel Patriot Games (I think). It was about 1500 pages, how a guy rises to become president after just becoming vice president, and how the entire supreme court and most of the legislative branch was wiped out..Ebola was tied into it. It was a fantastic book!
