A journalist was denied entry into the White House Coronavirus Task Force news briefing Saturday after developing a fever.
Reporters had their body temperatures taken by staff at the White House as a precaution against the coronavirus.
One person was tested three times by the White House Medical Unit over a 15-minute period, and each time, the result registered above the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's guideline of what constitutes a fever, 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit, according to Katie Miller, who is a press secretary to Vice President Mike Pence.

Assassin or just stupid?
Makes me wonder if this pandemic is actually an attack.
Jim Acosta: “Clearly the supposed fever was just an excuse to exercise racism and xenophobia to deny this Asian reporter white House access.”
Acosta didn’t really say that...right?
The staff member who took the reporter’s temperatures should have worn protective clothing.
A walking bio weapon failed to deploy?
I hope the SS is tracing this guy’s whereabouts the preceding several days.
I’m sure it started out as an accidentally released bioweapon. But now they are making sure that the rest of the world gets it as well. Reports of coughing Chinese all over...
You are a RACIST! That’s what the left would say. But you’re totally right. Houston,we gotta problem.
The dry run just for testing the response?
He said something similar.
A walking bio weapon failed to deploy?
_____________
It does seem somewhat suspicious.
I wonder if they quarantined him or just let him walk away? He needed to be quarantined, not walking around infecting people.
Sorry Xi, Your evil plan has failed again.
If a poster uses sarcasm, use of the /s symbol to indicate ending sarcasm clarifies that. In these crazy times,it is more important than ever to be accurate. I readFreeRepublic for news and conservative commentary on the news, hoping that what I read is accurate.
Should have let him in then quarantined the whole lot!
I’m astonished they were checking temps. Must of had intelligence that an attempt to spread the virus intentionally was out there.
RACIST!
Acosta HIMSELF called it the Wuhan Virus!
Oh, but THAT’s okay, right?
Freakin’ leftist hypocrite!
