Rossen Reports: Temperature Checks Inconsistent as Safety Measure
Temperature checks could give some false security.

Yes, a key to returning normalcy involves widespread temperature checks at theme parks, gyms and so many public places across the country.

But now, there are new questions about whether those readings even mean anything.

Thermometers pointed at people's foreheads are everywhere — from office buildings to theme parks. The presumption is that people who pass through them are COVID-19-free.

Think again.

These people all knew they were sick. The idea is to catch people who don't know they are sick. And when they have fever is the period when they are most contagious.

Now some people never get a fever. But there have been suggestions that the asymptomatic people are much less likely to spread the disease.

So the temperature checks do serve a purpose.

One of my daughters tested positive yesterday. Her doctor had her do a test while he treated her for seasonal allergies. She never had a fever. My Son in law and two granddaughters (6 & 2) got tested yesterday. Awaiting test results now.

We have been told all of our lives by our doctors. "Your only contagious when you have a fever".

Not surprising. When I had Covid-19, I ran a temperature for only one day---and that was after being symptomatic for 4 days. The fever was super low grade and lasted just a day. The rest of my family members that got sick never ran a temperature at all. Checking temps will pick up some people---so its better than nothing I guess----but its not going to be all that effective.

We've never dealt with the miracle virus before.

We never put healthy people in quarantine before the miracle virus.

We never used masks to prevent against exhalation hazards while saying they were useless against inhalation hazards before the miracle virus.

We never had a contagion that could tell the difference between a Black Lies Matter riot and a religious service before the miracle virus.

We never had a virus that was so deadly it could kill you if you were within a square mile of someone infected but they had to take a swab from the back of your skull to test for it before the miracle virus.

We never had a virus that would infect you if you fished in a boat with a motor but not one you paddled before the miracle virus.

We never had a virus that would infect you if you shopped at a small business but you are safe if you shop in a big box store before the miracle virus.

Don't question anything about the miracle virus, you science denying peasant, just do what your overlords tell you to do.

This little ditty could very easily have vastly expanded the DNA database.

BTW you left out that the miracle virus happened just in time to cover the facial recognition of the BLM / ANTIFA protestors too!

I have never easily swallowed convenient symbiotic coincidences.
