natural news is always looking out for us..

no, she called them more than once. her fever wasn't high enough or something.

Oh, that's not good.

Regardless of the actual fever temperature threshold, be it 99, 101, or any other figure, the simple report of a fever should have rung sufficient alarm bells to elicit caution on the part of the CDC.

i'm guessing, but it sounds like a regular old call center. someone didn't see the bright yellow "EBOLA" post-it on their monitor when taking the call..

Her name and place of employment should have been major flags in the CDC system. Given the obvious, media-driven, public concern, I would have expected the CDC to have been watching out for something like this, if only on a CYA basis. I foresee the Director of the CDC spending some time on The Hill, soon.

Apparently CDC is still telling people 21 days is the posible incubation period. Meaning someone will think they are in the clear after 21 days if they don't develop symptoms.

the WHO world health organization did a study and found that in 3% of the cases symptoms started between 21 and 42 days.

CDC will probably pick this up sometime next week.

But looking more broadly at data from other Ebola outbreaks, in Congo in 1995 and recent reports from the outbreak in West Africa, the range of deviation is between 0.1 and 12 percent, according to Haas. This means that there could be up to a 12 percent chance that someone could be infected even after the 21-day quarantine.

Yup. We've got top men working on this. Top men.

Daigle said that Vinson called the CDC on Monday before flying from Cleveland back to DFW on Frontier Airlines Flight 1143, and she reported that she had a temperature of 99.5 degrees.

According to the government spokesperson, when Vinson called in, the staff she talked with looked on the CDC website for guidance. At the time, the category for "uncertain risk" had guidance saying that a person could fly commercially if they did not meet the threshold of a temperature of 100.4.

So what should the critical temp be if a person's normal temp is 96.8°¿?¿

You mean 98.6. That is an average normal temperature. Everyone is different though. A 1 degree celcius increase (which is ~2 degree F increase) over your normal baseline temperature is considered a fever. Your normal temperature changes during the course of the day also.

To make it easier, 100.4 F is considered a fever. If we used metric like everyone else, we could just remember 37 and 38 degrees celcius.

My normal AM temperature is 97.3 F, so for me a fever would be 99.1 F. If I went to see my doctor, he would insist that a fever is 100.4 F and send me home.

See the Double D's!

That should be an effective name change distraction.

top men, as opposed to bottoms?
