Yeah, you totally never said anything of the sort.

Again, the fact Ebola is non-contagious until symptoms appear gives us tremendous epidemiological advantages. The CDC has got to buck up and reinforce that meme. Prior to reporting to the hospital, Vinson and Spencer were asymptomatic and noncontagious. Hickox was running an apparent fever on arrival, but her temp normalized. She was symptom free X24hrs. Unless she becomes symptomatic, she will not be contagious.
Should a potential ebola carrier have been allowed to board an airliner after registering a temperature of 101° in customs?

Correct. "Totally." Now that we've established correct context, once again we're back to the question at hand:
quote:As a fig leaf, I will answer this question. If a passenger (who is a high potential Ebola carrier) looking to board an airplane shows a temperature of 101° in customs they should not be allowed to board. However, if a passenger indicates through a survey that they are a high potential carrier at customs and does not show a fever then the group of security / CDC / Port Authority employees should not immediately don personal protective gear and keep the person isolated for 4 hours. If in the event all of that happens, when a physician takes an oral temperature reading of 98.6 but realizes that their forehead has an elevated temperature they should be allowed to resume flight. At the very least they should not be locked in a forced quarantine.

Good enough?
