...Ebola virus can be spread through any sort of close physical contact, especially with mucous membranes. This makes family members of infected individuals and medical personnel the most likely to contract the disease. In fact, in specific previous outbreaks, up to a quarter of deaths have come from medical personnel infected by their patients. In the laboratory, Ebola has been shown to be transmittable in aerosol form (i.e. through the air, just as a cold or a flu can be transmitted in a sneeze or a cough) but no human infection has been confirmed to have occurred through air-borne...

But the mash note to his fellow riders turns to wholesale gush as he pants over their observations, the banal as well as the smart, reminding us that this is Wallace's first up-close look at a campaign. Worse, some details are made up, tainting the sharp insights he does offer...
