The science is settled then...since the syptoms initally are flu-like (and the WHO screening symptom is simply a temperature above 99 degrees) we should always assume that it is the flu even though the patient spent months in an environment surrounded by ebola patients.

No. If someone has been around Ebola patients and exhibits flu-like symptoms, get them to a hospital isolation unit. Now.

But if someone has been around Ebola patients and exhibits NO symptoms whatsoever, then continue to monitor them, but there is no need for a quarantine.

Where would you set the threshold? The article states that her initial screening using a contact thermometer, showed a fever.

IMO this is entirely political and designed to hurt Christie.
