It is very possible for mutation to an airborne virus version to develop. That is just about the worst possible thing that could happen. Containment would become as difficult as containing a flu outbreak...only much more deadly.

Ebola has been around since the 1970's. Why is it that it has not mutated to an airborne virus version before this?
