@cuddlesmamaWe have a small farm and I remembered that I had purchased a couple extra digital pet thermometers. They work just as good as ones sold for humans.

Though we have a mercury thermometer and several digital ones, the digital ones really must be used with a plastic sheath "made to size" and I just hate creating more plastic waste.
So...at the beginning of this, I jumped at the opportunity to finally purchase an IR (infra-red) thermometer and we're both very comfortable using it, pleased to finally have a device that doesn't require touching the skin or placement in the mouth. It's quite accurate, is very light and it takes perhaps 3 seconds to take your temp - from beginning to end of process.
Both of us highly recommend the use of IR thermometers.

Are your Dollar Stores still open? Ours are closed.

Sorry $53 to ship is price gouging. Not an amazon fan.
Are you sure that it's from Amazon and not one of their third party sellers. That's really high for shipping.

That's terrible! I thought Amazon was cracking down on the gougers.

Part of my job as a nurse with the Department of Health is interviewing Covid-19 positive patients, and many of them never had a fever, others had no symptoms. Please monitor yourselves for other symptoms, but be aware that you could be Covid-19 positive and have no symptoms. Stay well everybody.

That's all I have @Scooby Doo , it must be 50 years old. I thought I'd better upgrade, but there's nothing available.

Although the delivery date Amazon gave me was weeks away, my two thermometers arrived much :::::::::faster.
Unfortunatley, the register in only Centigrade and the battery
reading is Low.
I did request a partial refund, but Seller refunded total of $18+.
The odd thing....one was in a case within its own box, the other was a different brand/label box with no case.
Both boxes appeared to have been opened before, although I could not prove it.
I just felt uneasy all the way around.
On a more positive note, I did receive quickly a package of 50 blue
masks for $20. They appear well made, with 3-layers.
I wear one with a cloth mask over top of it.
The Seller only had the one package available, which was packaged nicely with a thick zipper type envelope.
Inside was a “receipt “ typed in Chinese, but the Seller shipped within USA.
I think the Seller had purchased a quantity from China early on and
sold extra inventory via Amazon.
The price was very reasonable, which made me think it was a hoax,
but I did communicate w Seller and received reassurance.
Once masks arrived my fears disappeared.
One DD is severely compromised, another is a healthcare essential worker,
and her Father is also severely compromised, so I have enough to
distribute, thankfully.
To sum up: A tip I received is to go to CVS “feminine products “ area and look for an OVULATION thermometer. I was advised the temperature reading is within a half degree of accuracy.
Good enough......if they have any available!!
(I assume Walgreens/etc. would offer similar thermometers).
