Ebowla patient Dr. Craig Spencer recently returned to the U.S. from the front lines of the Ebola crisis in West Africa. Upon his return, Dr. Spencer was subjected to “enhanced screening” at the airport, according to the CDC.<\/p>\n

Tweeters drew the obvious conclusion:<\/p>\n

\n

@CDCgov<\/a> so the "enhanced screening" (thermometers) aren't to effective.<\/p>\n

@CDCgov<\/a> Well then it appears your "advanced screening" is a load of bullshit. Another failure by CDC. #tcot<\/a><\/p>\n

@CDCgov<\/a> @nbcwashington<\/a> THEN YOUR SCREENING DOES NOT WORK.<\/p>\n

Well, the conclusion is obvious to everyone except the CDC, apparently.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

@Dman2582<\/a> Patient didn't have fever or other symptoms of illness during screening; reported fever to health officials for 1st time today.<\/p>\n

— CDC (@CDCgov) October 24, 2014<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p><\/div>\n

That was such a profound point that the CDC decided to tweet it again:<\/p>\n

@DisabledDalek<\/a> Patient didn't have fever or other symptoms of illness during screening; 1st reported fever to health officials today.<\/p>\n

No kidding? Funny how that happens when a virus has an incubation period that lasts several weeks (at least<\/a>).<\/p>\n

So what exactly is the point of enhanced screening, again?<\/p>
