This is 100% for show. Don’t even bother. [/quote]

Precisely.  Meaningless Pandemic Theatre.[/quote]

Not really. In the early days, the fever was seen as a main indicator. Many countries used the fever test as part of their screening. Six months later we have more information and we better understand that symptomatic carriers are not going to have a fever but can spread the virus so the fever checks are now deemed meaningless.

It doesn't change the fact that for the first few months those fever checks were deemed key and that idea had time to root itself in people's memories. I went to the Dentist this week and they took my temperature. It is part of the guidelines they have to follow to remain open.

That has been the hard part of dealing with this virus, the information has been evolving. Decisions were made early based on how similar viruses behave. COVID-19 is not behaving like those viruses and we are adapting as we go.

So yes, taking temperatures is now known to be less effective but it is still included in guidelines by the CDC and other organizations.[/quote]
