Re: Body Temp Check This Morning

Please note my earlier post. If if they are doing a no contact forehead scan, it will generally read lower than an oral temp.

That's nuts. 

 

Even where some researchers have found a lower average body temp, that happens to be 97.5, which would mean that yours was actually lower.

 

And again, even that "new" temp is an average--as was the 98.6, BTW. The CDC's "fever" range is even higher.  Add to that, the fact that everyone with Covid doesn't even exhibit a fever.

 

No wonder Covid temperature guidelines are virtually nonexistent.



The pain they have cost us, the evils that never happened.

My favorite was when the clerk at Old Navy took my temperature at CHECK OUT while I was paying for my merchandise!
