So? The average body temp is 98.6. Do you want to quarantine everyone with a .9 degree variance?

99.5 is not a high fever normally, but it does mean something is cooking. Ive had 99.5 many times from a cold but usually it means something is starting because by the time she got off that flight it jumped to 100.4

When you are
- a NURSE with medical training
- you are part of the team(s) who took care of an Ebola patient (in inadequate protective gear)
- one of your fellow nurses already HAS EBOLA from caring for the same patient in the same work environment
- you know that a fever is one of the first, if not the first marker that is looked for & you are considered ‘contagious’ if you have one
- you do have a temperature/fever above normal

........ do you think you should be on PUBLIC transportation or maybe you should be reporting to the hospital to get tested for Ebola?

A low grade fever means an INFECTION. I know I had one when I was diagnosed with an infected gall bladder and had to be removed.
