Do You Release Someone While They are Running a Fever?

  Normally, I don't believe you release someone running a fever from the hospital until the fever is under control.
  So, why was Felipe Gomez Alonzo released less than two hours after it is noticed he was running a fever of 103f?
   A timeline released on the treatment of the 8-year-old who died in the custody of U.S. Customs and Border Patrol shows he was about to be released at 1 p.m. on Christmas Eve, but it was then noticed he was running the fever, so he was not released until 2:50 p.m. The timeline does not say whether his fever went down, but even if it had, it would seem you wait longer than that to see if it was stable.
   While it is Customs and Border Patrol who might be investigated for their care of the child immigrants, the hospital should also be in question. Is it normal to give second-class treatment to the immigrants?
