IMO the 24-hour rule is applicable here - no stories in the first 24 hours a major event should be considered true. It is very easy for a 100.3F fever to be mistakenly reported as 103F.

that’s their story...

Health officials said that initial reports were incorrect when they indicated that Dr. Craig Spencer, 33, had a 103-degree fever when he notified authorities of his ill health on Thursday. He actually had only a 100.3 fever. Officials attributed the mistake to a transcription error.

That seems like a pretty big error to me and also one that is very convenient for the story they are pushing that he was not symptomatic and not contagious; Thus calming the fear in NYC.

Also, I wonder what his temperature was when he reached the hospital as he has reason to downplay how high his fever when self-reporting it.

I don’t agree what happened to 100.5 ok to travel?
I don’t believe a word coming out of any govt employee right now there is no credibility

have you seen the movie the verdict?
