The Philadelphia PHD held a city-wide conference call last week during which the discussion led to a recommendation to evaluate persons at risk for any fever, including subjective report of fever. I haven't seen any written confirmation of that, but the logic seemed clear to me.

So with the latest news is that the 2nd nurse called the CDC with a temp of 99.4 and was told it was ok because it was below the 100.4 mark.  Does anyone know if there plans to change the recommendations regarding temp?
