I don’t know why people think it is paranoid to want sick people to stay home. They don’t you know. People all over America think it’s a great thing to brag about how they never miss a day of work even when sick and most people don’t care about getting other people sick.
I worked in retail and we have had to tell customers we can’t do their make-up appointment, because of the herpes on their lip. They were perfectly fine using our testers and brushes. Or, some of the Latin Americans I know who can’t not do the kiss greeting even when they feel the cold coming on. Or, my MIL who insists a stomach virus is stress and the scratch in her throat that turns into congestion is an allergy. Well, that stomach virus was passed on to the other family members and the allergy lasted a week. People function in denial about being sick all the time.
One way to help prevent the spread of contagious illness if the sick person must go out into public is for them themselves to wash their hands and wear a mask. In parts of Asia people do that when they are sick out of respect for others.
Normal temps do run in a range, but being normal above 100 is pretty rare as far as I know. We could make it above 100.5 if that was a better number.
I agree it could be overkill. Too much Big Brother like scary tech.
@Here2_4 Any chance your thyroid is fast?
