There is believed to be an airborn strain of Ebola. Or maybe I've just been
reading too much Clancy...

There is an airborne strain of HIV (I believe its a strain of HIV-IV) that
they have isolated in the lab. If thats not scary shit I don't know what is.

Thank you, Kenneth, for sharing this. Now, I will go
hide in my quark-tight bomb shelter.

Nah -- that'd only be scary if HIV/AIDS killed any faster than it
does. HIV is pretty far down the list both in terms of % exposed who
actually become infected and in % infected who die (including subsequent
time elapsed from initial infection until death). I'd roll those dice any
day compared to the big E.
