Cruise ship with Ebola nurse turned away from Mexico

A Carnival cruise ship reportedly carrying a nurse who treated the first person diagnosed with Ebola in the U.S. has been turned away from Mexico, officials with the company confirmed on Friday.

The nurse, who has not yet been named, treated Thomas Eric Duncan in the Dallas hospital where he was diagnosed with Ebola earlier this month.

She handled blood that was drawn for tests on Duncan, who died last week from complications associated with the deadly disease, according to the reports.

The nurse was traveling on a cruise ship that was scheduled to travel from Galveston to Cozumel, Mexico, but officials in Mexico refused to allow the ship to pull into port because of the concerns about Ebola.

Ship has a heli pad.  This person should have been flown immediately off the ship for Atlanta/Emory.

would have been easier to just not get on the damn boat in the first place, but I thought it was funny for cozumel, the worlds largest outdoor sewage pit, to get all fired up about an American that was in the vicinity of Ebola a week ago.

I will never go to Mexico for a host of reasons, but the fact that they are a country of low life scum, that is the first reason.
