Boy, they told us “high fever” was the ‘symptomatic’ line-in-the-sand.

Exactly..50,000+ die from the flu every single year. I wouldn’t want to be around someone, ANYONE no matter what they have if they had a slight temperature, all 99.5 means is that something is brewing inside of them, as my Mom would say “Something is cooking”

I was at the doctor today. After getting my temperature I asked if my 97 was too low. Nurse said she that my Doc considered any reading under 101 normal. Something wrong here?

This still doesn’t pass the smell test for me. What do they know and aren’t saying?

This whole administration from the top down are nothing but liars! How many people did they let go because their temp did not meet their criteria? How many are walking around with Ebola that were not tested?

She should have known all by herself not to go. This is why this is spreading. no common sense...People refuse to quarantine themselves.

When my doctor told me I had a temperature, I told him to use another thermometer. He did...no temp.

Same thing with my blood pressure cuz those weren't my normal numbers. He did...hit MY numbers right on the mark.

Why do I use this doctor? Cuz Medicare demands you have a Primary Care physician.

100 is normal?

....

I know that body temperature can vary some but 100 cannot be considered normal

While in Akron, she also visited the hospital in which she used to work so that she could socialize with former coworkers.

Sheppie-the-preppie should have been tossed in jail after that fit he threw in Florida during the Bush/Gore recount. Light in the loafers.

Anything would have been better than Shep today. I did change over to CNN while he was on. Then, flipped back and forth too. CNN had some decent coverage today.

The Dr’s demo on taking off the protective gear was good. Like many of us have been saying for weeks, the usual isolation gear is not really sufficient for Ebola -(the Dr. points it out)especially during the later stages. Also, the usual hospital responses are just not good enough.

While I have been saying that the regular hospitals weren’t ready to handle this, the tragedy of errors at the Texas hospital has been even worse than I thought it would be.

I saw this on another board.
Vinson told CBS Dallas Fort Worth that she was feeling ill before boarding her flight. She had a low grade fever, but she said that officials told her it was okay to get on the plane. Vinson told CBS that she called the CDC several times with concerns.

Another post said CNN confirmed she called the CDC.

She should have phone records.

The guy at the top of the CDC needs to be fired.

I think she did get permission. The CDC are allowing these health care workers to go home and self monitor themselves. So if they had children, they would be going to school. I'm tired of the CDC blaming the nurses for the CDC’s ineptness. They should be using the higher safety leveled equipment for ebola.
