[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The 2nd nurse called the CDC hotline to report a 99.5 fever, but they considered her non-high risk because she was below the official 100.4.[/quote]

When was this? The Tx hospital obviously did things wrong but the CDC is now part of the problem. For anyone who has directly treated a patient and they have a fever -- who cares if it's 98.9 or 100.9 -- why not isolate and test them? I get the feeling she is sicker than we're being told/than maybe she is telling. Maybe she had a fever for a whole day or 2 while in Akron but kept it quiet because she wanted to get back to Dallas? Maybe she thought she was getting sick but once the CDC said -- nah, call us if you hit 100.4, she thought she was fine to travel and carry on her business.

Sounds like she may be sicker than Nina Phan just based on how quick a decision has been made to transfer her to Emory. Sure maybe she or her family demanded the transfer -- knowing the incompetence at that hospital, but I'm surprised Nina and her family haven't demanded it -- and with Nina even though it's been days, they're still saying "we're considering it" -- as if debating whether she really even needs a transfer or if she's on the mend already.[/quote]

CBS news this evening had a story about it.[/quote]
