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?

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?

103 and above - that leaves out a lot of common infections. Besides anyone with a fever can sit in their air conditioned car and a ‘shopper’ will pick up stuff on their list and bring it to the car.

We have to start making sane decisions or we’ll destroy the country while trying to save lives. We can save lives AND save the country. Risk management.

The White House is using this system - and if it’s good enough for Trump it should be good enough for grocery stores and pharmacies...
