Records obtained by the Associated Press show that Dallas’s Ebola patient was initially released from the hospital despite having a 103-degree fever, a tell-tale symptom of the virus. Thomas Eric Duncan, who died Wednesday morning, was not diagnosed with Ebola when he first went to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital two weeks ago. The hospital sent him home despite his recent travel to Liberia and his fever that was so high it was “flagged with an exclamation point in the hospital’s record-keeping system.”
