A helicopter landed aboard a cruise ship Saturday to pick up a blood sample from a passenger who may have handled fluids from an Ebola patient, ahead of the Carnival Magic’s planned docking at Galveston, Texas, Sunday.

Yeah, but it needs to get in line. I figure cancer, heart attack or some idiot texting and driving will get me before ebola. And I don't lose any sleep worrying about them either.

What a friggin waste of time and resources. This is what media-hyped hysteria gets you. Mexico won't allow a port call and someone has to send a helo to get a blood sample. All because a person handled samples from a victim. SMH.

And the ship's crew person who drew the blood sample.

Chuckle-chuckle.
(You did mean that as a joke, right?)

Did the medical personnel on the cruise ship have proper protocols and haz mat gear to take the sample?

Edit: didn't see DeeJays post above.
