Considering the actual medical ones that are just swiped across the forehead aren't all that accurate, these type which are not used in the medical field have to be perfect, right?

Who else feels weird when you walk in a business and some kid aims that thing at your head?

FWIW, a forehead temp reading isn't really indicative of anything at all. An oral reading is OK but a core body temp is the only real way to get accuracy from a medical perspective.

This taking your forehead temp stuff is just theater for the masses. If you want proof of that, just ask that minimum wage worker that takes your temp what their clinical plan is for an out of spec reading. What is acceptable and not acceptable? What does a high or low reading mean?

Never happened to me. Is this widespread in places?

Seems asinine to still be doing the temp checks. Every single infected person I know didn’t run a temperature; almost all lost sense of taste & smell and had a cough tho.

All forehead thermometers are useless. When I get checked in at the hospital, they know it registers too low so they try to get me to make up my own higher temperature that sounds reasonable.

I’m not a doctor and I’m no anti vaxxer close it down person either, but I’m calling BS that they are worthless. Do I think they are necessary? No.

Nobody gives a shite if they are 1 degree off, as said I’m guessing that they don’t even care if you are 100 and maybe 101. But I don’t think they are a completely worthless first gate to help ensure people are not sick.
