The body can do weird things but if every other data set is normal you question the validity of the anomaly right? She was screened for fever before getting on the plane too.

It could be an instrument error, or it could have been a real fever which dropped before the retest. Perhaps she took a medication taking Tylenol or some other antipyretic agent. Even hydrating could drop a temp somewhat. The point I was making is that until everything is sorted out, she should have consented to isolate just like our military members and many others who were asked to quarantine because of some contact with an active patient. Instead, all we heard in our "hysterical" news reports were her threats of lawsuits and her rebellion as exhibited by her bike rides.
