I won't hold your ignorance of employment law against you bc I don't expect you to have the same level of knowledge considering you didn't study or work in that field. Perhaps you shouldn't expect laypeople to immediately know which individual words news outlets are attributing incorrectly to the CDC.
I blame Ebola.

Throwing around the word "fever" when it doesn't apply is also idiotic.
I apologize for my recklessness with words. There is no telling how many lives I've endangered here tonight. This burden will lay heavy on my head for the rest of my life.

I understand. That's why I lost my tennis match today, too.

Let me get this straight:
Some people are being quarantined for 21 days because of their exposure.
Yet, we are to believe that it was a good idea for the nurses who treated Dunson to get on a commercial flight and go anywhere, EVEN AFTER ONE OF THE NURSES HAD CONTRACTED EBOLA?
I think im out for the night. Some of the logic in this thread is making my head spin

We never consider how single words can affect the world since it is so large, but answer this question for me.
Which of the following could potentially have a greater impact on people's actions?
"Nurse who treated Duncan flew on an airplane with a temp of 99.5"
OR
"Nurse who treated Duncan flew on an airplane with a fever"

True. But then there is this, more accurate, statement that changes it even more:
quote:
"Nurse who treated Duncan flew on an airplane with a temp of 99.5 after experiencing possible symptoms for 3 days."

What is there to discuss? Anybody who treats a patient who ends up having Ebola should not go anywhere. Figure out the rest.

What the hell is "possible symptoms"?
Did we not learn anything from these news agencies during the hunt for the Boston Bomber?
They print everything without checking first. They have to beat the other news agencies to the punch and it often results in patently false news.
Look, the CDC should never have given her the go ahead. That is obvious.
But we need people, and society, to keep level heads here.

Who doesn't have a level head? I played tennis at the Cooper Institute today and I'm posting Ebola joke gifs tonight.
Here's one of your fever culprits:

Here's one of your fever culprits:

BS News Medical Correspondent Dr. John LaPook reports that Vinson called the CDC several times before boarding the plane concerned about her fever.
“This nurse, Nurse Vinson, did in fact call the CDC several times before taking that flight and said she has a temperature, a fever of 99.5, and the person at the CDC looked at a chart and because her temperature wasn’t 100.4 or higher she didn’t officially fall into the category of high risk,” said Dr. LaPook on the CBS Evening News.

Dude, have you ever heard of Nina Pham?
Yeah. Look I'm not excusing the CDC, just Vinson. Pham was diagnosed after Vinson left.
