There are some amazing books out there on the topic of these level 4 contagions.

Ebola has been transmitted through the air, but it was not a strain that was able to pass to humans. If it had, we could have been seriously screwed. Google: Ebola, 1996, Virginia

The people who deal with the outbreaks are real unsung heroes.
