A "Good Idea", or a "Feel Good Solution"?

A local employer just announced "Fever Monitoring" policy at their manufacturing plant.
Each morning, upon arrival, all employees will be scanned for a fever, those with a******lly high body
temperature will not be allowed to enter the building, and will be asked to remain at home until their
temperature returns to normal. In my opinion, this is a big step forward, on a long journey.

Where my brother in law works they are asking the employees to take their temperatures at home and if they have a temperature then to stay at home until it returns to normal. My niece and her husband are both dentists and they have closed down except for emergencies.👍👍👍👍👍

This was first implemented in China during the 2009 H1N1 outbreak.. It has been used for the past two and a half months everywhere... If is a very effective measure...
Needs to be followed by testing

That's the problem no tests and in some states like mine its hard to get tested my guess is I'm in a red state and they still trying to downplay this.
No tests =less cases in their minds.

Whether or not you are tested is irrelevant if they are not quarantining those that are positive and tracking those who have come in contact with them....
Stay vigilant and be careful...
The best defense is to avoid this disease...
A test that takes days or weeks isn't going to help anyone...

That makes me wonder why no one has brought it up here on OPP, or elsewhere, before this?

Of course, we’re just following the glorious Chinese methodology! Well, good for us.

To my knowledge only Asian nations have implemented this technique.... It really should be common practice by now...

I hope so... Not just China... Japan and Korea did this as well....
Does it not make sense?

I suspect that "Fever Detectors" at our school, airport and government building entrances could save
far more lives than "Metal Detectors" ever have. They could reduce annual "Flu Deaths" substantially.
We have the technology, the government has the (our) money, all that we lack is the collective WILL!

Yes....
One side effect of the quarantine has been a decrease in all infectious diseases...
Prevention seems to work...

All dentists in my area are closed.
Virtual consultations only.
Some doctors doing the same.
