The point isn't thermometer accuracy the point is initial screening failure at the port of entry considering her travel history. Where do you draw the first line of defense?

Next time we get someone entering the country from an area where ebola is active, can we have them stay with you for 21 days until they are certified symptom free?

When you read her story she is bitching about not having enough blankets and enduring lousy cell phone reception in a partially finished wing of a hospital. This is politically motivated and she is seeking attention.

Some say it could well be longer than that - up to 40 days.

Fact is Ebola is not fully understood, nor is it understood enough to be unnecessarily risking a horrible death to countless numbers of innocent people.

One of the “certified clear” medics gave Ebola to his other sexually.
That hit the news not too long ago.

Kaci (in her own words on the Today Show, 2014), “She will pursue legal action if Maine forces her into continued isolation: “If the restrictions placed on me by the state of Maine are not lifted by Thursday morning, I will go to court to fight for my freedom.”

Settled science....Not exactly

Two "cured" ebola victims have now come down with a secondary case of Ebola exhibiting itself as meningitis..

I believe at least 80 people are being monitored.

Kinda takes the "settled science" out of her case.

There is no “definitive line” as to when one is contagious. They say until “symptoms develop”. One hour before an elevated temp? First sign of nausea? Who knows?

But Ebola isn’t a laughing matter.

Yeah, there's always a but somewhere.

They still don’t know the actual point of contagiousness.
They say “when symptoms develop”, but that actually is a catch all phrase meaning “we aren’t sure. But we know it happens sometime around this point”.
And with the incubation period being 2 to 21 days, and it being found to linger in “ cleared” victims, it isn’t something to play with.

13% of the cases of Ebola, no fever present.

Absolutely. She had complete disregard for a potential health risk.

My settled science statement was satirical...

Didn’t save the article, shouldn’t be too hard to find.
Then there’s secondary Ebola, much like second stage syph.
Shows up in spinal fluid and a meningal infection.
Makes one wonder what else this thing does.

Unfortunately, the PCR test (IIRC) can give false negatives the first three days after symptoms appear.

The US troops that were ordered over were quarantined for 21 days. Can they sue Barack?

I didn’t look for the article; I believe you.

I didn’t know there was second stage syphilis, or second state anything for that matter.

Scary days.

Christie, Perry and other Republican governors did an outstanding job protecting citizens of their states from the Enola pandemic.

The federal government failed.

Syph also has a tertiary stage.
Well, found one article.

Link, unprotected intercourse with an ebola survivor.
