For some reason I’m really thinking this was a Hajj flight.
To Dubai to get the hotel rooms settled and stocked, then off to Mecca where they get infected, then back for a few days partying in Dubai, then back to Boston. Maybe all felt a little sick in Dubai and flew back to Boston sooner than they planned.
Dr. on FNC just said he suspects MERS.
5 passengers have been removed and brought to area hospitals. Family members dont think it’s ebola. Others are all still on board. None of the sick were in west Africa.
I thought the Saudis were not allowing West Africans to make the Hajj.
Even if they did all catch Ebola in Mecca, it would still be very unlikely that they would all fill all in the time taken for the flight. The incubation period varies from 2 days to 21+ days.
