In reply to the discussion: NY Ebola Infected Doctor Flew To U.S. By Way of Europe [View all]TomCADem
(17,378 posts)12. His 103 Fever Hit On Thursday...
...but he reported feeling somewhat tired as early as Tuesday. What is odd is that the Dallas nurse did report elevated temperatures (before going to Ohio) before her temperature spiked. This is what strikes me as odd. Does Ebola just result in a 103 degree spiked fever (NY Doctor) or does the temperature elevate over a few days as was reported with the Dallas nurse. This is why it sounds like there was a delay.

On Oct. 21, Dr. Spencer began to feel somewhat tired but Bassett emphasized that the first actual symptoms began Thursday between 10 and 11 a.m. this morning with a fever and some other symptoms. He was brought to Bellevue Hospital as a person considered at high risk for Ebola.
The day before his symptoms began, Spencer went on a three-mile jog and took the New York Subway A train, No. 1 train, and L train. Spencer also went to a bowling alley in Williamsburg and was feeling well at that time except for his feeling of fatigue, according to Dr. Bassett. The bowling alley is closed waiting for inspection by public health officials. Spencer had close contact with his fiance and three friends who are all healthy and being quarantined. One of the contacts is in the hospital. Bassett said Spencer also took an Uber car home, but he had no physical contact with the driver and the driver isnt considered to be at risk.
