It's not just low, it's incredibly low.

The 1-10 number, I believe, was based on aerosolized lab exposures. Don't recall anything related to weaponization. Could be. But I don't recall that. I have seen it sourced in several papers. It is as impressive as anything I've read about Ebola. Is there data out there intimating lower potency?

Not a lot of work done on Ebola in general and most of it by USAMRIID, which is focused on biological weapons defense.
