The latest Dallas nurse to contract Ebola boarded a plane in Cleveland two days ago with a slight fever and should not have flown, federal health officials said Wednesday.
Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told reporters that the nurse had a temperature of 99.5 degrees before she got on the plane on Monday.
Because of that reading, and because she had treated Thomas Eric Duncan, the first Ebola patient diagnosed in the United States, the nurse should not have been on the plane, he said.
She did not vomit. She was not bleeding, Frieden said. So the level of risk of people around her should be extremely low.

“...If travel is approved, the exposed person must have timely access to appropriate medical care if symptoms develop during travel...”
So who gave her permission to travel?
In her travels did she use eating utensils? Did she use public toilets? Did she cough or sneeze? Was she sweating? Did she kiss anyone? Did she have sex?
If I put mah beer down for a few minutes, I find I get a higher temperature reading.
Seriously though, there are variations between thermometers. Try a different type of thermometer and compare readings.
I went in to have some moles removed a few years back and I was over 99--I might have even been just over 100. They consider that surgery (removing moles) and contemplated not doing it that day. They determined it was probably normal for me and proceeded.
That's a good point, and a good turn of phrase. Fortunately, not many Freepers suffer from that.
Interesting. So either of us could throw the CDC’s game off. You’d be in quarantine while well, I’d be sick and infecting people, both of us “normal.”
Kinda like polling: within the margin of error.
Yes it is. I was going to comment on the low precision of these rankings; but I opted for brevity. If the parents, teachers, and students believe that they’re improving — that can motivate them to strive for more. The usual reaction to these rankings is denial (or accusations of class-ism and racism, etc.) Celebrating a small victory is a big step forward (even if the “victory” is only an illusion — a statistical blip).
Well, this is embarrassing (blush).
I had just commented on this thread:

Then, I got your ping, and replied to it — thinking I was still in the other thread. Oh well, my first sentence applies to both threads.
October 10. Visited family. Returned October 13. Presented October 14. Confirmed October 15. Soon to fly to Atlanta.
Did She attend the Steelers-Browns game at FirstEnergy Stadium, Cleveland, Ohio?
Can you trust the people who couldnt do a web site with containing Ebola?
#Can you trust that the President who couldnt do a website will control Ebola?# Pass it on
CDC has been impressive with the keystone cops response.
