Sometimes I can handle vomit like a pro. Landing from a three-hour flight and when the plane touched the tarmac, my daughter was spewing. I had the bag and calmly departed the plane.
Other times, the smell is enough to set me off like the pie-eating scene in Stand By Me (left, exactly as shown).
And it’s much more likely to be Norovirus than Ebola.
Barf stories are now everywhere with this ebola thing, and anyone who vomits better be discreet or they will end up wrapped in plastic.
The flight originated in Dubai.
None of the people on board the jet were thought to have come from West Africa.
At 9:44PM passenger Tracy Barahona tweeted: “Ok just announced that all patients of concern have been removed from plane.”
A spokesman for the airport said the five passengers were “exhibiting flu-like” symptoms.
The ill passengers are believed to be Saudi Arabian.
The first lab tests of a Kansas City, Kan., man admitted to the University of Kansas Hospital on Monday indicate that he does not have Ebola, the hospital said Tuesday.
The man will remain in a hospital isolation unit until results of confirmatory tests by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention become available in the next day or two. Hospital officials are hopeful.
