Trust, But Verify

Despite some monumentally asinine carping from world-class trolls on several sites, all I've done is consolidated and condensed current information on Ebola, and I present it with the bark on, and reality settings turned up to 100%.

Which is why I get it right, early, more frequently than the acknowledged "experts". I also don't have anybody's @$$ to kiss.

Someone asked me where I'd gotten it into my head that fever was not a component in a yuuuuuge percentage of cases.

I could tell you "Trust me" but that would be b.s.

So instead, I tracked back my quotes, posts, and comments on other blogs, to pin down when and where that factoid came to be.

Here you go:

"In addition, around 50% of confirmed cases do not present fever symptoms which hinders their detection in health facilities and increase the risk of exposure for health workers." - WHO 10/26/2018 Outbreak Summary, p.3 (bottom of page) {emphasis mine -A.}

Tell 'em Casey Stengel sent ya.

The UN's best and brightest medical experts admitted 9 months ago, publicly, and in their own house bulletin, that fever doesn't appear in 50% of people with actual Ebola, in this outbreak.

So no, I didn't just pull this out of my fourth point of contact, or, unlike the CDC @$$clowns, "just make sh*t up".

Now you've got chapter and verse on where this came from.
And it's as reliable a source as you'll ever get.

So now I can say, with a straight face, that when I tell you something, you can trust me.
But I'll give you the references and bibliography if necessary.

Now bear in mind that the one and only tool they use to screen people at airports and Ports Of Entry is...fever.
