Given the rate at which it has spread, and that health care workers who should be the best informed on how to avoid it have still contracted the disease, I would say it's pretty darn contagious.

Don't trust govt agencies and their lapdog media to tell you the truth about it. (Should go without saying.)

I'm finding it pretty interesting to watch it play out on my site here. For instance you can see today people are tweeting about the first suspected case in Brazil: http://loqq.us/E
