This post is meant in Jest.....Hope you take it that way...I took my wife to the doctor today to talk about her future therapy and medication..We got to the door and a lady came out..She had a mask on her face and pointed this thing that looked kinda looked like a gun at my head...What's That..I asked.She said it tells me if you've got a fever..If you do you can't come in..Just for a moment I wondered If I was in one of those old west movies where the bad guy walks into a bank with a mask on his face and a gun in his hand,and points it at the teller's head.

We used those where I used to work. Had to be calibrated about once a week.
We'd point them at a pool of water from a distance so we could log the water temperature without getting too close.
(I worked at a Nuclear Power Plant.)

That's the world we live in today...if you have a fever, you're not allowed in a Doctor's office. Used to be, if you had a fever, the Dr's office was your destination |

I used to cough to cover up a fart, but now I fart to cover up a cough.
It’s a mad, mad, world.

clever device say I. Fine for a quickie forehead "swipe". vs stick thermometer in your mouth & wait (sure as hell beats taking temperature of a baby)! Heh heh

Happened to me when I went to get my ear checked. I was worried that I might have a high temperature because of my ear infection, so I took some paracetamol to bring my temperature down just in case.
It does feel like you're getting shot at...or tagged.
