Would a Hyperbaric Type Environment Help in the Spread of the Ebola Virus

In two words, probably not. Hyperbaric medicine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ebola is a viral infection.

This could help - the infected people would be held in isolation .... oh, wait.

The Ebola virus is easily defeated by lack of moisture....It can only last a few hours once it dries out....so it can only survive in a wet environment...that's why it's only spread through bodily fluids...

Read up....knowledge is power....

This study does not support your assertion: 53. When dried in tissue culture media onto glass and stored at 4 °C, Zaire ebolavirus survived for over 50 days Footnote 61. This information is based on experimental findings only and not based on observations in nature. This information is intended to be used to support local risk assessments in a laboratory setting. http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/lab-bio/res/psds-ftss/ebola-eng.php
