Quote:Furthermore, we now know that fever precedes the contagious stage,

Seems like NEJM is talking out of both sides of their mouths.. Because observed cases of Ebola shows over 1 in 10 patients exhibit NO FEVER over the course of their illness (death)..

The finding that 87.1% of those infected exhibited fever — but 12.9% did not — illustrates the challenges confronting health authorities as they struggle to contain the epidemic.

And while I generally hate to cite Infowars as a "credible" source, they do have this article fairly well documented.

IOW, 1 in 10 odds are not that high.. certainly not high enough to stake people's lives on the idea that you have to have a fever to be contagious with Ebola..
