No, I don't think I'm misinformed. If you have been following this thread at all, the current thinking is transmission is via body fluid contact and indeed relatively hard to contract. The issue of airborne spread is tbd ... no one knows for sure, and that's the wild card. I note that other strains of Ebola (eg Ebola Zaire) can indeed be spread via the air.
The point of the earlier post was to simply point out the mathematics of what's required to monitor people who've been exposed. Never said they would get it, but if the CDC thinks they should be monitored, there is some level of risk obviously. The takeaway for you to focus on is the exponential growth in numbers needed to monitor.
Do you dispute the math as cited in my post? If so, please elaborate.
