What you are saying and what RDKirk mentioned is not accurate, you see fatigue is also a symptom of Ebola...
Could you at least get the facts straight from the story you posted?Actually, he waited two days before deciding to seek medical attention. He became achy and feverish on Tuesday. He didn't go to the hospital until his fever spiked at 103. He'd been feeling badly for at least 48 hours, during which time he went on his little errand-running jaunts and recreational outings.
According to the story you posted, that was his first thought as soon as he felt ill.This doc was treating Ebola in West Africa. It should have been his first thought when he started feeling ill.
Maybe because he wasn't sick earlier in the week? Here it is, straight from your story:Good point. Given that close contact, I am having a hard time imagining why Spencer wouldn't immediately think "Ebola" when he got sick earlier in the week.
Actually, his description is perfectly accurate and reasonable.Pfft! If what you say were true,t he question wouldn't be about a flu shot, it would be "Do you have any flu-like symptoms?"
Too bad you have nothing to support this other than your opinion.This is a politically correct screening process designed not to "offend" anyone by "accusing them" of having Ebola!
Then why did you give a list of questions being asked at a hospital and claim they were questions being asked by CBP personnel?We aren't talking about hospitals -- or at least, I wasn't.
Give us an example of a question you think CBP airport screeners (if there are any such screeners) should be asking?I'm talking about screenings of international passengers coming into the U.S.And actually, I posted those myself a few days ago -- and pointed out how inadequate they are, seemingly avoiding the direct questions necessary and instead engaging in a hyperbolic politically correct exercise.
Ebola's initial symptoms are almost exactly like those of the flu. That is why asking about receiving a flu shot is a screening question.Flu shots have nothing to do with Ebola, and asking if the incoming passenger has had his/her flu shot is just plain stupid and pointless.
You said it, not me.But feel free to pontificate further for those of us poor stupid peasants who don't know any better.
I didn't. Those are questions CBP officers are expected to ask when an international passenger arriving from west Africa in the U.S. displays a fever as indicated by the infrared skin temperature reader. Don't have a clue where you got the idea they were being asked in a hospital.Then why did you give a list of questions being asked at a hospital and claim they were questions being asked by CBP personnel?
You've seen my bullet-pointed questions and mistaken them for questions asked at a hospital. Can't help your confusion, but I've already supplied the questions you wish illustrated.Give us an example of a question you think CBP airport screeners (if there are any such screeners) should be asking?
Wrong answers. But thanks for trying. As I said, asking about flu-like symptoms would be the correct question, not some drivel about flu shots.Ebola's initial symptoms are almost exactly like those of the flu. That is why asking about receiving a flu shot is a screening question.
Yes I did, didn't I? And you responed as expected.You said it, not me.
Then perhaps when asked where you got the questions, you shouldn't link to a news story which lists those questions word for word but states they are from a hospital in Macon, Georgia.I didn't. Those are questions CBP officers are expected to ask when an international passenger arriving from west Africa in the U.S. displays a fever as indicated by the infrared skin temperature reader.
That link goes to a story about those questions being asked at a hospital, not by CBP officers. Did you even bother to read the story to which you linked?The source for those questions is here. Sorry. I forgot to post the link the last time.
From the story you linked to here;Don't have a clue where you got the idea they were being asked in a hospital.
That's where I got the idea.The source for those questions is here. Sorry. I forgot to post the link the last time.
No, you linked to a story showing those questions being asked at a hospital. Here is your post where you linked to the story;You've seen my bullet-pointed questions and mistaken them for questions asked at a hospital. Can't help your confusion, but I've already supplied the questions you wish illustrated.
So I'm still waiting for a link showing those questions in use by CBP officers. Also, now I want to see the story that shows CBP officers are scanning people with "infrared skin temperature readerThe source for those questions is here. Sorry. I forgot to post the link the last time.
No, as the story you linked to shows, those questions are asked of people who present atWrong answers. But thanks for trying. As I said, asking about flu-like symptoms would be the correct question, not some drivel about flu shots.
By agreeing with your own characterization of yourself as a "poor stupid peasant who do[es]n't know any better"?Yes I did, didn't I? And you responed as expected.
Fatigue is also a symptom of being overseas in a Third World country working long hours, flying to the US, and then jogging three miles.
While that is true, you missed my point, he could have been contagious before he had the 103 degree temp.
