We might add a 2b step, and have the stews take everyone’s temp before they disembark, but that still won’t catch those who lie about self-medicating. And the stews are very good at spotting sick people anyway, especially on non-stop flights of some length.

It would take all of ten seconds to take a person's temp...AS THEY'RE BOARDING... and STOP passengers from infecting other passengers... That needs to be added to our 'fight the virus' list...

you don’t trust stewardesses or what?

The first step is screening at the foreign point of departure.

Travelers in some countries can’t even get on the airport access road without having their temps taken. All get temped at the airport entrance and may even be temped again at the boarding gate per our current FAA regs. A stew will temp inflight any passenger that appears ill.

That’s like 4 or 5 temp checks from airport to landing. And another one if they fail the customs check.

Temping is not 100% accurate but it’s the ONLY indicator we have of a sick passenger.
