Ebola airborne CDC might be a reality, after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have suggested that the strain may have changed from its natural form, causing a variation in the virus. The Ebola airborne CDC discovery hasn't been officially announced as of yet and may be just a rumor, but news outlets around the United States see the lack of new information with more and more concern, after the disease sees United States territory for the first time.
The Ebola strain that is currently taking Africa by storm may be different from others before it. While the possibility of an Ebola airborne has CDC concerned, they have not spoken out directly about it - except to state last Tuesday that they could have handled the situation of patient Thomas Duncan better, who was the first case of the disease in Texas.
The possible Ebola airborne CDC case happened later on to Amber Vinson, a Dallas nurse that had been treating the patient. However, according to CNN, she posed a health risk later on, as she was in a commercial jet with 132 more people while she already had a fever from her contagion of the potentially deathly disease.
After this scare and the risk it posed, it seems the CDC is considering adding 76 health care workers to the TSA's no-fly list. These would be workers from the Texas Health Presbyterian Dallas hospital in Dallas, the health institution that has attended the city's cases of the West African virus.
The Ebola airborne CDC rumor has been an ongoing rumor for a while now, although there hasn't been an official confirmation yet. However, it would explain why the virus has spread so quickly throughout the African continent (particularly in the West).
According to a report by Times Record News, a "usual" Ebola outbreak can take up to 500 patients or less - an extremely small number when compared to the 10,000 cases that have already been documented worldwide, including the first transmission case in the United States. This might mean the disease has turned airborne, which would make it harder to stop its ongoing spread.
