How Does the New Strain of Ebola Spread?
Summary: A rare type of Ebola called BVD is spreading in Africa. It has no vaccine, but the good news is it is less deadly than the usual Ebola. It spreads through direct contact with bodily fluids, not through the air like a cold. Surprisingly, it can even spread through sex up to a year after infection! While tests missed it at first, doctors say you should not worry about a US outbreak. Avoid social media rumors and trust health experts instead.
