Guest Posted January 22, 2021 #1 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Can't wait to get back cruising, but I refuse to have a laser shot into my brain multiple times every day to test for temperature. There must be another way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual temperature sensing is done by measuring the infrared radiation being emitted from the target.... usually a person’s forehead, and inferring the surface temperature from that reading. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HicksRA Posted January 22, 2021 #6 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Maybe if you wear a tin foil hat the radiation won’t reach your brain.... 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any aiming mechamism is not going to emit enough energery to penetrate the skin. The actual temperature calculation is made by detecting light energy given off by the body. If someone had no issue using a cell phone then I can't fathom having an issue with an IR temperature scanner being used on them. 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evidently, you haven’t kept abreast of the 5G conspiracies and how those cell phone towers can load a person up with the novel coronavirus! 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverbeenhere Posted January 22, 2021 #9 Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) The doctor in the house says" the guns most businesses are using are notoriously inaccurate, patients (passengers - my word) can easily trick the guns and the guns only have a chance of being accurate under quite controlled situations." She suggests that the rectal method could be best and would definitely lead to some fun cruise conversations.

Some companies were doing daily temp checks as per state mandate. However that's fallen by the waste side, at least where I work. Some retailers were even taking temperatures of customers before they entered the store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodtime Cruizin Posted January 22, 2021 #13 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Iwent to a Hooters once back in July and they did and told us that it was a nationwide policy for them. But no other restaurant has ever done this but them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobal Posted January 22, 2021 #19 Share Posted January 22, 2021 So I have just recovered from Covid - as as my OH. At no time did he have a temperature and I had one on maybe 5 or 6 occasions during the course of a couple of weeks (I took my temperature regularly). I really don't think the issue is whether people want or don't want their temperature taken, it's that the whole procedure is pretty pointless in terms of a diagnostic tool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, all the salons near me use them. They all check temperature at door, make you wash your hands before you touch anything in their facilities. No big deal it has become the "new norm" since end of May when salons reopened. I heard local gyms were doing the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
