So, your temp can rise to 101 just by being agitated or angry?

I've never heard that before.

Yup. I think that's why a lot of the medical people on this forum considered only temperatures above 101.5 to be medically relevant. But that would be just your forehead's temperature, which is why a medical professional should be the final decision maker as to whether someone should be quarantined. As soon as the doctor at the hospital determined that she did not have a fever she should have been on her way back to the airport. Heck, she never should have been held for 4 hours before that. The fact that everyone was suiting up just because she told them she worked over there was pretty ridiculous.
