When I got on the plane I only had a sore throat. It was about two hrs. into the flight that I developed a high fever and dry cough. Luckily, I had a surgical mask in my backpack as I like to wear one when I fly. I put it on at that time. So I don't think, if I were screened at that time, I would have been "booted off". But I do agree with this type of screening now, under these conditions and circumstances.
