Over the course of 6 weeks our system did 190000 temperature checks. ONLY 9 temps of greater than 100.4 were found ONLY 1 turned out to be positive for Wuhan Coronavirus. 190000 tests to find 1 positive case. This is the definition of a terrible screening test and waste of resources.


This really doesn't say much either way?

If 100 people tried showing up to work with contagious Wuhan and your checks caught one of them - poor screening

If the only person who had contagious Wuhan was identified - then good screening (just expensive).

Also, can't ignore the a theater effect. I.e. there were a few dozen folks who would have toughed out a fever at work - but didn't try because they knew they would be tested at the gate.

Mammogram reference doesn't count - not contagious.

The fats at Disney have built-in air conditioning, as long as they can keep their hoverounds in motion.

Let’s be honest. Screenings have always been more of a CYA thing than a means to keep an infected person from coming in.

All the doctors I go to always take my temp as part of the check in along with BP before the Dr even comes in.
But I do understand what and why it was being done

Supposed to be contactless By 1/2” and add a degree to get in the ballpark.

It speeds up checkpoints if they don’t have to alcohol-wipe the thermometer after ever touch that contact would require.
