Yeah, we can stop shutting crap down... but it’s better if we can do it with protection. If it’s the wild wild west the ‘shutdowns’ will come from citizens trying to save themselves rather than from government suggestions. AND I can assure you that will be worse.

Tell me, if YOU worked in a grocery store or wanted to shop in a grocery store - would you rather that people had been turned away at the door who had a temp - or that everyone had been let in?

Restaurants would be the same - temps taken before people are allowed in...

Those rejected by restaurants can used ‘takeout’... we need to strike a balance here. 14 day ‘shelter in place’ followed by sane rules that provide balance.

Did you say this about the flu or common cold or SARS or any other infection??

No, you did not.

That's not going to be that effective. More people have fevers due to other causes than are sick with the Wuhan virus. Many of those are non-contagious. If the virus is contagious when someone is asymptomatic, that means they have no fever. People have different body temps, what number is the line for kicking them out or not? Low-grade, mid-, high-grade fever? What about kids/infants? Infants generally run hotter anyway, and they'll have a high body temp from all sorts of stuff, to something as simple as teething?
