Daffynition:" My question is about thermometers and their accuracy."

According to WHO/Doctors Without Borders (A/K/A: MSF) ther are one out of eight (12%) who contract Ebola who show no fever until immediately before death.
Taking temperature will detect 88% of Ebola contamined indiviuals- although it is NOT TOTALLY ACCURATE for 100% detection.
Also , WHO/MSF suggests quarantine for 41 days , not 21 days as reccomended by the CDC.
WHO/MSF are the frontline professionals who speak from expierience from West Africa

Thank TIK....my query does not have to do w/ taking a temp to determine Ebola contagion/possible existence....but relates to the instrument itself.

E.G. If I am asked to measure a room to buy some carpet, if I use a yardstick, that only has 35” marked on it....my measurement will off....................
