I’m always in the 95.5 range when I get checked...


I don’t think that’s accurate

I find it kind of asinine that we're screening based on body temp when fever is rarely a symptom of COVID-19.

I saw one guy not allowed into a casino a couple weeks ago. He had been in the sun in the parking lot. The security guard said that has happened to a few people and let him wait at the door until his temperature went down.

This is true.
My father works at a hospital.
Over a weekend he became sick. He called the hospital at which he worked and they told him to come in for a Covid test. Upon entering the hospital his (and everyone else's) temperature was taken with one of those non contact head scanners. The thermometer reported back 97.3. He knew it was not correct so when he was brought into the room he asked for his temperature to be taken again but with an oral thermometer. This thermometer came back at 101.4 degrees. Time between the two temperature checks was only 30-40 minutes.

I always get checked while sitting in the car after the AC had been blasting on my forehead for an hour. I’m sure it’s legit

I think more places should go to a qualitative smell test in place of body temp.
