The Covid-19 Standards And Law Enforcement Challenge

A friend of mine lamented the quality of infrared non-contact thermometers being used by businesses and establishments. 

That was after he recorded a 33 degrees Celsius.

I told him to keep quiet and to go and see a doctor because according to what my standard four teacher told me, he was not well. I couldn’t understand his basis for arguing with a sophisticated scientific instrument that merely takes a reading and has no connection with his paternal aunt who rides a broom. In fact, my initial reaction had been to ask him if the reading was not an IQ reading considering it had been fired at his forehead. That would have made more sense but I have since reconsidered.If the non-contact infra-red thermometers are really crucial to the COVID19 fight, as we are led to believe, something will have to be done about them. Otherwise it is all an act in futility and we should edit them off the list and stick to other protocols. Unfortunately, it is taking too long.
