A woman who handled the specimens of Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan returned to Galveston, Texas at 6am today after being on a Carnival cruise
The woman, who is with her husband, had no symptoms but went into voluntary isolation with her husband. They drove themselves home
Government wanted to fly her home from Belize but port wouldn't let her in
The ship skipped its final stop in Cozumel, Mexico, scheduled for Friday
Helicopter flew to ship on Saturday to retrieve blood sample for testing
Passengers handed leaflets about the disease when they disembark

I wonder what the cost of this ordeal was? Who do they send the bill to? Duncans family?

But wait, we were told by The Daily Sheeple that not only was this person a nurse, they were sick and had exposed the entire ship to Ebola.
