Let& #39;s talk about temperatures.
Temperatures are weird things. What is a fever for some of us is a normal temp for others. There is no one set perfect temperature for all humans. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/13/health/covid-fever-checks-dining.html?smtyp=cur&smid=fb-nytimes">https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/1...

Taking temps before, say, going I to work or a restaurant doesn& #39;t make sense for a lot of people.
We have asymptomatic carriers and those are aren& #39;t symptomatic YET. There& #39;s a possibility that others won& #39;t catch it but picked it up on their person that day.

Also, look, some of us run low grade fevers because of chronic conditions, especially ones that aren& #39;t communicable. If you go to take my temp and it& #39;s high, I can tell you exactly which of my conditions are flaring and causing that spike nine times out of ten.
And that tenth time? It& #39;s because multiple conditions are being dicks.
Does it mean don& #39;t measure temps? Eh, well, idk. I& #39;d say err on the side of caution.
At the very least, it gets people to think about their temperatures and if they& #39;re running a fever before they go out [he said, hoping that& #39;s true but knowing it& #39;s probably not].

With the CDC estimating that roughly half of all adults have at least one chronic condition - and many of those leading to fevers, even intermittently - that should be a clear sign that temps won& #39;t tell you shit
I& #39;m writing this thread on the toilet because, well, IBS stuff
I made dinner so obviously my body has to reject it
My temperature measurably went up and I started sweating just from the stomach cramps I had prior to coming in here

Fevers are our bodies ways of signifying something is wrong
That doesn& #39;t always have to be an infection or something like that
It even happens when we lie
