NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) - A ship with three sick crewmen is scheduled to dock in New Orleans, the Center for Disease Control confirms.
CDC officials said they received word earlier today that a ship which had traveled near where the Ebola outbreak is will dock at the New Orleans port.
A CDC staff member, emergency workers and members of the U.S. Coast Guard will board the boat and transport one ill crewman to a local hospital for evaluation.
No word on which hospital the crewman will be transported to.
The CDC said they are taking extra precaution because of the Ebola risk, but that is thought to be “exceedingly low.”
“The vessel’s itinerary did include Matadi, DRC, in addition to other ports, but there is no evidence to suggest that the crew members traveled to, or had any contact with anyone from the remote inland region of DRC where Ebola cases are occurring.
Given this, the chance that the crew member could have Ebola is thought to be exceedingly low,” the CDC said.
We’re told two other crew members who reported mild illnesses will also be evaluated.
The CDC staff member assisting local health officials was already in New Orleans for training.
The Obama regime is working harder than they have ever worked to bring ebola death to Americans. By golly, it is only fair that we should suffer like other people.
Thanks lefties. I hope you and yours die first.
The only way to stop this is quarantine where it comes from. This is plain stupid.
WE'RE BEING SET UP, PEOPLE. How many do the NWO'ers want to wipe out.. how many millions of people?
With Barry’s wide open borders, it’s amazing we aren’t dead already. God knows they’re trying!
give me a break... jeesh
Unless you're eating bats, baboons and grasscutters from Africa,or swapping bodily fluids with Ebola patients, and won't bother to take yourself to a hospital, it's of zero risk.
In fact, it might be better to clear out America of people like that.
You’re a freakin’ mis-informer.
Obama seems eager to expose Americans to this awful disease. I guess we haven’t suffered enough, just having O and his gang in the White House.
I don’t like your idea - at all.
Exactly what I was thinking.
Ping.

Whoa! That's some seriously fine weed you been smokin', Dude. Where can I score some?
Geeze. So they cruised across the Atlantic to New Orleans?...
This smells like Obama - free health care and citizenship to everyone!
“Three, even if they had Ebola, it can essentially be cured with minor medicines and Gatorade. “
No ebolavirus-specific treatment exists

We have had it too good for too long, in their opinion. Not only are we to be taken down a peg, but we are to be punished. And boy oh boy, will we be punished.
The ship isn’t by any chance called the NARCISSUS is it?
Great film— the real world of public health. Richard Widmark at his earliest best. Panicked, and directed.

About six billion, plus five hundred million. Give or take a million or two.
I’ll fund your humanitarian mission to Liberia with “minor medicines and Gatorade”.
If they just drove by, that would be an airborne contagion of biblical proportions.
Those ARE exceedingly rare.
It’s food poisoning.
