Let'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

Taking temps before, say, going I to work or a restaurant doesn't make sense for a lot of people.
We have asymptomatic carriers and those are aren't symptomatic YET. There's a possibility that others won'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't communicable. If you go to take my temp and it'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's because multiple conditions are being dicks.
Does it mean don't measure temps? Eh, well, idk. I'd say err on the side of caution.
At the very least, it gets people to think about their temperatures and if they're running a fever before they go out [he said, hoping that's true but knowing it'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't tell you shit
I'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't always have to be an infection or something like that
It even happens when we lie
