from your own link
But on Friday, a bus was quarantined on Virginia Avenue, SE, in the Capitol Hill area of Washington, D.C.--in what turned out to be an Ebola false alarm
hence no ebola, hence, no transmission on a bus, hence you are a moron.
AMazing that the only "news" service carrying it is CNS or links to the CNS version
which also goes on to say
During the conference call, CNSNews.com asked Frieden: “In a video message to countries in West Africa that are experiencing Ebola outbreaks, President Obama told residents they cannot get the disease by sitting next to someone on a bus. But CDC recommendations state that travelers in West Africa who begin to show possible symptoms, or people who have experienced a high risk of exposure, should avoid public transportation, including buses. And we’ve also seen large amounts of concern regarding potentially infected people traveling on airplanes.
“My first question is, did the CDC vet this video message before it was released and posted on U.S. embassy websites, and is it true that a person runs absolutely no risk of contracting Ebola on public transportation, such as a bus?”
“Yes, CDC vetted the message, and, yes, we believe it’s accurate,” Frieden told CNSNews.com.
also more on hoaxes(which make people really moronic it appears)
An online search for news articles with the words “LA Ebola bus” returned more than 44 million results. By comparison, a search for “enterovirus” — the other infectious disease in the news at the moment — only returned slightly more than 1.2 million. (The flu is much more likely to kill you than either of those viruses.)
So if you find yourself trapped on a bus with someone screaming about having Ebola, try your best to stay calm. L.A. Metro’s Gonzales said he had just met with health officials, who told him a person diagnosed with Ebola would be physically unable to walk onto a bus.
“Your chances of finding a person on a public bus who has Ebola are virtually zero,” he said.
Health officials have repeatedly stated — and the White House has reminded the public — that the only way to contract Ebola is to come into direct contact with the bodily fluids of someone who has already begun showing symptoms.
