"Cruise Line" Confirms Negative Tests Results, But No Official Word From CDC? - Yet Passengers Still Disembarking!
Every news source is citing Carnival Cruise Line as being the ones to announce the test result came back negative. But no one, not even AP, is citing the CDC or Texas Health Officials as the source to confirm the negative test results.

Example:
[link to hosted.ap.org]

Reuters also has it but I can't post the link.


This is alarming. Why let people off the ship then? Why not wait for the official word from the CDC? Is it because Carnival jumped the gun and doesn't want to lose revenue from the next cruise group?

Apparently, according to one report ( [link to www.latimes.com] ), the patient was pretty much snuck off the ship in the early morning before the other passengers or media could get to her and is already on her way home in her own car!

Is anyone able to find a link citing the CDC as the source of the results being negative? I'm not seeing anything anywhere citing them.

The Yale Student who tested negative for Ebola... they took blood on a Wednesday night and didn't have a result until Friday afternoon when they announced the student was negative.

[link to www.nbcconnecticut.com]

How long does a test take to get the results? Because it hasn't even been a full 24-hours yet since they took her blood sample...

My question is who took her blood and how careful were they taking it? Also, why did they go to the expense of even flying in to get her blood? It's all pretty odd. It just does not add up.

The cruise line is safe in doing whatever they want.

The cdc is such a clusterfuck that they will have six different versions of their actions released by noon.

Why are passengers still disembarking?

The cruise line is complicit in the scam. Wonder why they would participate in something like this?

Thread: CDC and U.S. Govt.POSTURING to reassure the public--Look at this photo of the helicopter retrieving blood and tell me what is wrong with it.


This is all postulating to reassure the public that those passengers weren't exposed, and to offload them.


I would be surprised to find any more footage or photos of the helicopter supposedly getting samples.


The couple was sick. The media lied. Then they cooked up a way to make it all okay via a negative test result.


I hope I am wrong, but my suspicions cannot die when I look at the photo.

Exactly! But what I CAN see happening is Carnival making them sign some sort of "non disclosure" agreement in order to get their compensation. I work in the travel industry and many companies like the cruise lines have these types of agreements that if you're getting refunds or any sort of compensation from the cruise line, you in return agree not to disclose things on social media or write bad reviews or go to the media about it.

I wonder if they implemented this after all the crazy issues Carnival has had in the past?
