Just another item to add to my preps.

I know, right. I've never been a Jack Daniels fan but I won a bottle of Gentleman Jack at a smoker and now my wife calls me a Jack whore.

Hum... has the .gov just found the new "commy fear" that they used in the 60s where everyone thought they have a commy as a neighbor?

Good thing he didn't have ebola. They're pretty sure.

Local TV station Channel 7 monitored in the capital City Of Belmopan tonight, reported having credible reports that a couple from a Texas-based cruise ship presently anchored off Belize City, is on a ship tender, unable to return to the cruise ship, while being refused entry to Belize City to catch an air ambulance awaiting at the International Airport to take them to the their country of origin, the U.S.A. The television station in its broadcast tonight said Belize health authorities contacted tonight have so far refused to deny or confirm the report. The patient exhibiting Ebola symptoms has been confirmed to be a nurse at a Dallas hospital traveling with her husband.

Great job on the 21 day quarantine CDC.Any other Dallas medical personnel taking vacations instead of staying home under "voluntary" quarantine?

US Monitors Health Care Worker Aboard Cruise Ship - ABC News

ABC reports she was asymptomatic,but the US government wanted to pick her up from the airport in a medical transport?The ship is returning the the USA after being denied entry to Belize.

If you are quarantined why would you get on a ship with 5000 people and take a cruise?Quarantine does not mean paid vacation!

"Obama administration officials say a Dallas health care worker who handled a lab specimen from an Ebola-infected man from Liberia who died of the disease is on a Caribbean cruise ship where she has self-quarantined and is being monitored for any signs of infection."

no but seriously, are we going to be told why this guy died?

Hopefully the body showed signs very different from Ebola, and autopsies take time to confirm.

But I'll admit if I was on that plane you can line me up with the paranoid and fearful!

Cruise ships are already disgusting breeding grounds for infectious disease. I say they just torpedo the thing now, as there is no way they'll effectively quarantine the entire ship unless they leave it out at sea.

Non-refundable deposit?

I'm starting to wonder what the CDC does. "Disease Control and Prevention." It. Is. In. The. Name. Shouldn't they at least be making a reasonable effort?

Now, specifically regarding the cruise person, I had read they handled samples. That seems like a low risk role. Flu/sea sickness/ebola all have a overlapping symptoms. I doubt this person really has it, based on the information I've seen.

But, it still makes USians look pretty crappy.
