#1 Large droplets. Saliva (body fluid). Land on surfaces, remain contaminated. As for the aerosolization, that question still remains.

#2 For your education, look up "fomite" on a reliable site.

#3 A fomes (pronounced /ˈfoʊmiːz/) or fomite (/ˈfoʊmaɪt/) is any object or substance capable of carrying infectious organisms, such as germs or parasites, and hence transferring them from one individual to another. Skin cells, hair, clothing, and bedding are common hospital sources of contamination.

#4 good one, Besoeker. Good article - shows Mr Hatton was RIGHT.

I wonder when the apology is coming

Good advice too Besoeker to which I add: if you must fly, wear a pair of cotton gloves to prevent you touching a surface then touching your eyes, nose and mouth.

Wear them from the time you get in the cab to the time you get out of the cab at the other side. Then throw them in the bin, immediately disinfect your hands.

That should help.

Do the same when shopping/going to public places once ebola hits our shores (which is inevitable eventually)
