Please...if you experience fever and start bleeding from your eyes, seek immediate counsel with your congresscritter.

...the man left Liberia on September 19, had his temperature checked at the airport, and arrived in America on September 20. He only developed symptoms on the 24th, however, and he was isolated four days later. Patients are only contagious when they're symptomatic,...

Is a fever considered "symptomatic"? Can a fever develop in a 24 hour period? There is no way they can positively claim he was not contagious.
