Ebola lab worker on cruise

It looks like there’s a person on a cruise who actually handled Ebola poop or something and is now being quarantined:

A Dallas health care worker who handled clinical specimens from an Ebola-infected patient is on a cruise ship in the Caribbean – with the worker self-quarantined and being monitored for signs of infection, the State Department said in a statement.

According to the government statement, the worker departed on a cruise ship from Galveston, Texas on Oct. 12 and was out of the country before being notified of active monitoring required by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

According to CBS News, this person is showing no signs of Ebola yet — and let’s hope it stays that way.
