No one on that ship or who has ever been on that ship is “Ebola Stricken.”
Don’t nurses have a clue about not traveling around after tending to a seriously infectious-diseased patient?
When the US Government refuses to implement a rational transportation ban, actual documented treatment ‘protocols’ and answer up for its incompetency, we will see more of this ad hoc imposition - quarantine - being implemented in ways that will boggle the mind.
The CDC was supposed to have been the world’s authority on infectious diseases; they should have stepped up to the plate ready to go instead of checking to see if the ‘protocols’ matched the politics.
She is lucky. My sister was taken off a cruise ship there in August this year, and she languished four days in a third-world cinder-brick “medical physical” that Carnival utilizes for sick passengers - it is not much more than bricks according to her husband who is a Nurse at Fort Hood.
Paging Dr Frieden, please pick up the nearest.....on second thought don’t touch the phone.
Ha......they two of them ....possibly infected with Ebola....are on a SHIP TENDER....off Belize City
Looks something like this:
I guess the "cruse ship tender" will head for the US.
Confirmed with representatives of the Ministry of Health that they have indeed received a report that there is at least one passenger on board the cruise ship, Carnival Magic, showing symptoms similar to that of the Ebola virus. According to the report made to MOH, the person exhibiting the symptoms did not come ashore today. The ship is reportedly carrying 3652 passengers and a total population of 4633 persons.washingtonpost.comThe Carnival Magic departed from Galveston Texas on Sunday, October 12 arrived in Mahogany Bay, Honduras on Wednesday October 15 and arrived in Belize this morning, Thursday October 16.
The ship was scheduled to leave Belize en route to Cozumel this evening at 5pm. However, it is still anchored in Belizean waters near State Bank Caye.
We have also have confirmed that the Belize Coast Guard has been deployed to prevent anyone from leaving the ship; including the Belizean pilot on board.
The employee, who has not been named, did not come into direct contact with Duncan, who was the first patient diagnosed with Ebola in the United States. However, he or she may have been exposed to his clinical specimens.It has been 19 days since the passenger may have processed the [Duncan's] fluid samples, according to the statement released early Friday. The cruise line has actively supported CDCs efforts to speak with the individual, whom the cruise ships medical doctor has monitored and confirmed was in good health. Following this examination, the hospital employee and traveling partner have voluntarily remained isolated in a cabin.
They don’t have Ebola. The article says they are Ebola stricken, but goes on to say they have “Ebola like symptoms” but no fever. Thanks Obama. The chances these people have Ebola is about 0-none.
4,300 people on board. What a nightmare.
I’m just guessing here...but I wonder if the CDC is finally doing their job in keeping track of those Dallas HCWs who were exposed to Duncan, discovered one of them was on a cruise ship (!) and wants to get her off that boat fast, “just in case”.
It was the potato salad.
3 week party boat.
Obama needs to lecture Belize as by closing their border to ebola they will be creating more ebola//s
It’s a good thing it happened on a cruise ship. They are pretty safe for staying healthy. You never hear about a lot of people getting sick on a cruise ship. I might take my family and go stay on a cruise ship until this all blows over. God help us all.
What a nightmare! Possible contraction of a horrible virus and then trapped in a third world cesspool country. Have any of you ever been to the area? There’s probably better infrastructure now, but it’s still hideous conditions compared to the USA. At least pre-apocalyptic plague USA....
It appears the folks in Belize understand the word “containment”.
Apparently, Belize is a sane country.
I doubt if this is Ebola. I think it’s great that Belize and the owner of the cruise ship are following the rules of common sense and sticking it to Obola and the CDC. How many more of these idiots in Dallas have been traveling?
Looks like my fun cruising days are over.
First of all the govt is lying about the number of Ebola patients in the US. There are about a dozen today. Might even double today. They are waiting until after the election to really respond to this crisis.
I just flew yesterday and two African men were talking and the one guy said that the airport reminded him of the Liberia airport! Close the damn border Obama you racist azzho1e!
