I read in an article that the founder doctor of ebola said that it transmits via the air. why is that hidden from people by media and governments?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Well: Typically the virus spreads by contact with secretions, blood, bodily fluid. It is not airborne unless it is sprayed or thrown into the air. I don't think it is being hidden by the media, but again what would be the agenda for hiding this ?

Hi doctor, how can ebola virus be prevented.
Good morning ?? doctors. How is it that we no longer hear about H1N1, Ebola, or SARS? What happened to them? Could Covid19 "go the same way?" Why hasn't it? What would have to happen? What needs to happen such that people don't need to wear masks?
