They’re saying it’s the wife unless I’ve misread, not the husband. And, how detached from reality does one have to be, to go on a cruise and brag about handling vials of Ebola? Say it’s ignorant and panic all you want and you may be right, but it’s small comfort to them now trapped on a small launch between the cruise liner and land.
The story is poorly written.
But from what I can tell, the hospital worker is a woman and may have or may not have handled Ebola blood work.
I don’t think the female hospital worker who may have or may not have handled a vile of Duncan’s blood has a wife.
But yes, there is not only an abundance of caution there is also an abundance of panic.
