So many of the symptoms are just like the flu! Just wait, it is going to get much worse in the next few months.
“Screening positive” means that this person met the qualifications in the screening - which Duncan did, as well - but the screening actually got to the medical staff and not just to the insurance and payment department.
It does NOT mean that the person has “tested positive,” and I think it’s a bit early for the hysteria to break out. We’ve got to get a grip, folks. Probably about 99% of these things are overreactions motivated by earlier underreactions, motivated by fear of lawsuits (and not genuine health concerns).
Great let’s shut down all the major Dallas-area hospitals because it takes about one patient each
What is that? - 'I feel like crap', or something?
Seems like a pretty broad statement to call it a positive trigger based on a questionnaire.
Now, if he answered that he had just returned from Liberia from a necrophiliac convention ... Ok, I'll give them that as a reasonable basis for a 'positive trigger'...

She's none too pleased at the present time.
