Am posting this urging US to do this which isn’t as disruptive and costly.

Two hours. Thats all the time medical teams in Singapore are given to uncover the first details of how patients contracted the coronavirus and which people they might infect.
The NYS (slimes) did not go into what Singapore was doing but these postings do and explain what and how it was doing which is well worth a look.

I don’t know if there is a “Trump sucks” angle, but my sister in law lives in Singapore. This is for real. They have people assigned at entrances with hand held infra-red heat guns. She said she was scanned 5 times just today. Anyo e who get hot they are inquisition to find out who they have been with? How long they felt like this? If they ever coughed in public do. Wwho? Their shelves in stores are full and there is no pani, from what she says. This is a very effective and organized way to handle the crisis. This is Priminister Lee speech to Singapore population on what they learned from the Sars outbreak to deal with this. Trump (and I love him) could learn a lot from Singapore.

Here’s another detailed posting from another site http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3825906/posts#40
Jackson MI Nose swab tests http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3824844/posts
I would think a handheld thermal imaging heat detector gun would be better for crowds.
You can buy them at Home Depot and Lowes.
Singapore doesn’t have HIPPA.
Think about it.
That would only work as long as most of the people culled were older, straight, white Men. If by chance the majority were people of color, worse yet WoC or members of one of the government approved pervert groups the cries of .ism would be defining. We should have learned from the early AIDs years. We all knew who it affected, how and why, but everyone had to be treated like it was a plague that could kill anyone.
