oh, this looks like fun.

They'll have to find thermometers first.

FWIW, Taiwan began doing this in January. Literally every public building, restaurant, store, etc. Everyone would get thermal scanned before entry. Taiwan has largely avoided a Covid outbreak...

My husband traveled there the first week in February and had his temperature taken EVERYWHERE for the whole week he was there.

What an awful way to have to go about things.

When you say “EVERYWHERE”, My first thought was a rectal thermometer.

If that's the only way that they can open then it doesnt bother me!

You don't need individual oral thermometers. Maybe they will do the thermal scan one. I think they should.

Heck=, who would have thought we'd live in a world where we have to take off our shoes and go through a full body scan to board a plane?

 

[RamblingMad]

They can just use thermal temperature scanners like those being used in Asia. If your temp is over a certain amount, you can’t get in. But that does nothing to stop asymptotic carriers.

I’d avoid the parks until a vaccine comes out especially if you’re in one of the risky groups.

 

[Diznygrl]

Gee, and here I thought it couldn't get any worse after all the bag checking and metal detecting dramatically slowing down the line, now we'll get to wait for everyone's temperature to be taken too.

This seems like it could really be opening a can of worms if it comes to fruition. There can be a lot of other reasons someone might have a fever that have nothing to do with fighting off an infectious virus.

Some may do that. We won't.

We are going May 2021 and it's quite likely a vaccine may come out, but not be widely available by then. If Disney is open, we are going!

Well if a lot of people are staying home until there's a vaccine you probably won't have to worry about lines! And if there's a vaccine then they probably won't take temps!

Always a bright side.

Like?

UTIs, recent vaccinations, arthritis, Crohn's Disease....stuff like that.

 

[amylevan]

Like?

Sunburn (in Florida? Never!)
Rheumatoid arthritis
Malignant tumors
Some medications
Vaccinations
Teething

 

[fsjking]

I'm thinking an infrared camera that is adjusted for body temp used to flag people with above average temp is possible. Then you don't have to stop everyone. Granted with the current virus, that's irrelevant, but it's a thought if temperature taking is going to happen.

 

[EveDallas]

Like?

Food poisoning, vaccinations, heat stroke, certain antibiotics or steroids

 

[Farro]

Most likely they would be doing it just to appease public opinion, same as what some refer to as "security theater". So people feel it's safe to visit.

 

[Jennasis]

Would the conditions being listed cause a temp of greater than 101? And frankly anyone with food poisoning or heat stroke shouldn't be in the park either LOL. But I would guess they are looking for high temps (more than 101.5), not just elevated temps.

Life after COVID gonna be very different. Get right with it, people.

Have you not traveled by plane before?

Many airports, even before this COV situation, were using body thermal scanners during flu season. Did that ever stop you from flying?
