Seems like a lot of money to spend, for a blood sample, if she is not showing symptoms. The ship docks tomorrow morning.

Exactly. Can you imagine the price tag of obama’s insistence on hot stopping these flights?
To: richardskeet
It sure does. Why not wait until tomorrow if no symptoms?
I heard that passengers are asked if they have been exposed to Ebola before they go on the ship. Don’t know if true.
Are they planning to keep everyone on the ship if she has Ebola?
To: richardskeet
The guy who flew from Nigeria to JFK, vomited profusely and then died before landing? They looked at him, said, "No ebola" and let all the passengers go on their way.
Cruise Ship Lady? We need a helicopter to get her blood sample to a lab -- STAT!!
But I'm sure everything is fine.

I have heard various things at other sites stating the State dept was involved and that person is showing symptoms. They probably took the sample to determine if they need to quarantine 4300 passengers! Lost at sea.

Good point. She must be showing some symptoms. Otherwise it makes no sense.

Two notes: processing blood samples from dying Ebola patients is extremely hazardous. That was evidently this person's job. Either they have to wear full pressurized protection or do all the work inside an isolation box. I suspect he had neither.
Second, this is not norovirus, the cruise ship virus, so I would not consider his infection to be a hazard to anyone except people who had close contact with him and even in that case a small chance if he is not acute and they take reasonable precautions.

She could even test negative while showing symptoms, IIRC. This is nuts. If we have more cases outside of Dallas, this madness will just spread, while the real cases will be misdiagnosed and cause more infections.

A cruise ship would be one hell of a target for an ebola infected terrorist.

This is 2014. A drop on a special platen by a technician and put in a little box would have allowed the world’s top virologists to examine it with google glass in hi-def first person immersion virtual reality. The technological retardation of our nation is the direct result of government siphoning of money out of the private sector to put their kids in private school in the DC area and an apartment/lexus payment.

I can’t imagine being trapped on that ship right now.

If this HCW/cruise passenger's test indicates infection, the remaining cruise passengers nightmare is only beginning. What are the chances they will get past customs to continue their travels home? 700 passengers affected by sharing the same Frontier plane, not just the specific flight, are on no- fly lists while self-monitoring. Can the cruise passengers be expected to do less?
For the record: NBC: Ebola in the US: Who has it? who doesn't? Who might?
This list begins to identify all those whose lives have been unnecessarily impacted by Obama's incompetence with regard to Ebola , so far. Treason by any other name!
Way to go Barry, CDC.

What were they going to do if it is positive? Deny the ship from port?

This is serious overreaction - probably all of it based on the trial attorneys even now hovering off the bows of the ship.

All this from one hell-bent-for-America Liberian. Imagine what five Duncan’s will do. Since 2008 I have said Barack Hussein Obama will prove to be, the best planned, deadliest terrorist attack to ever strike American soil.

I’d like to know who onboard actually took the sample. We’re they suitably garbed and careful? Do they have to self Quarentine too? Or were they from the Helicopter crew?

Looks like the Obola Administration is starting to take Ebola seriously. About time.
