PORT CANAVERAL, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35 ORLANDO) - The EOT Spar is a 300-foot-long cargo ship due in Port Canaveral just 17 days after leaving the port of Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone in West Africa.
The country has documented 5,235 Ebola cases so far, according to the World Health Organization.
The U.S. Coast Guard says federal requirements already in place, as well as self-monitoring by the crew is enough to reduce risk to Central Floridians.
The Coast Guard says it is in close communication with the EOT Spar, an American-flagged cargo ship out of Annapolis, Maryland. It's scheduled to arrive in Port Canaveral on Nov. 4, four days prior to the end of a 21-day incubation period, based on its last day in Freetown. The Coast Guard says it's monitoring the ship's transit time closely.
They are required to report anybody with any symptoms, said U.S. Coast Guard Lt. Cmdr. Gabe Somma. And in this particular case, we have no indication, no reason to believe, there is anything wrong with this ship.(continued)

May be easy for a crew member to transport a few vials of blood with the virus and spread it around after the crew mingles with the general population...That pretty much IS what ISIS is threatening to do...
No Muslims have ever been aboard a ship of any kind, so no worries.

The plague in Europe was identified with a ship which docked in Venice. I forget where it was from but everybody on board was dead.
Self-monitoring only works with people who do not lie.

One would think the dock workers wouldn’t allow it to dock...

They’re gonna need a bigger ship.

It is shocking that this is being allowed.
Obama cares not a whit for the American people.
