What body temp with the handheld scanner?

When you go to certain places and you are checked with that scanner that is pointed at your forehead. What temp is the cutoff for not being admitted into the building?
23

Those things are garbage. Underreport by at least 1°
I am always 96.6 or something

It's 110 degrees outside.
How accurate can those possibly be?

We did that for a few weeks at work and mine was always like 94. I had hypothermia and didn't even know it.

Ours at work is wildly inaccurate.
I’ve registered temps as low as 83° but we are still required to do this daily along with a daily questionnaire before entering since March with no end in sight.

Actually you will read lower if you are actively sweating.

My temp was 97 something after walking across a hot parking lot wearing a mask yesterday
There’s no way those things are accurate

Depends on which kind they're using. The cheap (<$100) white and green plastic ones from Chy-na? Probably not great.

99.5 is cutoff at my work. Sometimes people come in hot during hot days, but after sitting in AC for a couple min temp normalizes.

99.6, long term care facility

That's only if your sweat actually evaporates. With the relative humidity in the "walking through gumbo" range, I doubt it.

They’re only accurate if they shoot you directly on the red eye.

I am always below 95.
If the gun reads 100.4 or higher, it beeps. You then get tested by a different thermometer gun.

Here's the thing...98.6 degrees is human AVERAGE. That means some folks run higher or lower all the time.
Temperature checks are something that the WHO DOES NOT recommend doing according to their 2019 flu pandemic protocol. Simply because of accuracy, variations in body temperature, and the high chance of missing when someone is feverish.
But the caveat there is that they are discussing travelers not necessarily workplaces, which could make a difference (long residence time in one place vs. short/passing through).
It's an interesting document. Check out the table starting on page 13 of the PDF. Discusses the mitigation measure, the evidence, and when to apply. This sort of guidance has been thrown out of the window for SARS 2.0, but, don't worry, we're "following the science."

I still do it at my office but basically just because it gives the patients a sense of comfort but honestly I find it pointless. I’ve known over 10 people who have had covid including my wife and myself and not one had fever.
