If the GOP had not cut the CDC budget, they would not have told her she could fly.

Fever in general terms is anything above 100.3; that said given her history she should not have boarded that plane.

I hope the 130 or so people on the plane enjoyed being a lab experiment.

If so, that is utterly infuriating. The screening questions being used in ERs are for patients that have a POSSIBLE exposure, and the fever is of 101.5. The nurse had direct contact with the patient. It shouldn't have mattered what the exact temperature was, the nurse was symptomatic.
I seriously hope the nurse's question about flying was just brushed off by a dumb arse lower-level who was too stupid to put 2 and 2 together. If the higher ups at the CDC were actually informed of her symptoms and still let her fly, we are all screwed.

A temperature isn't considered a true "fever" until it is 100.4F in a young, otherwise healthy individual.
