Passengers on a cruise ship carrying a Dallas health care worker who handled specimens of an Ebola-infected patient expressed mixed feelings today after arriving at the Port of Galveston in Texas. <\/p>\n
The Carnival Magic reached the port about 5 a.m. The health care worker and her travel partner were allowed to disembark with restrictions, according to the Galveston County Health Department. <\/p>\n
The health care worker had been self-quarantined on the ship and hasn't shown signs of the virus for 19 days, officials said. <\/p>\n
One passenger on the ship, Chris Perry, said the experience reminded him of the AIDS scare in the late 1980s, \"Where people were just fearful of anybody around it.\" <\/p>\n
\"Outside of that, you know, once everybody kind of started understanding, it wasn't that big of a deal,\" Perry said. <\/p>\n
Another passenger, John Cascio, said he was not too concerned. <\/p>\n
\"I really wasn't worried about it,\" Cascio said. \"I knew they would take care of what's supposed to be taken care of.\" <\/p>\n
But one passenger who chose to speak anonymously had some concerns. <\/p>\n
\"I was worried because if she did have Ebola, you'd be quarantined on the boat,\" the passenger said. <\/p>\n
