A friend of mine Flew to China at the height of the H1N1 scare. He told us the flight crews on the way to China were taking temperatures with a heat gun as were the bell boys in the hotels. If a person registered a temperature they were quarantined. What do you think happened on the way back...? Not a damn thing. No temp taking... no nothing.
