Well no surprise but it appears that taking peoples temperature may just be a wasted  of time.

I myself have been to the malls and cycled there so with sweaty brow I usually top out at 35.

But of course every store you enter takes a reading too.

 

Lowest yet as 33.1 & I did query it.

AC was the response & perhaps the young assistant was right and the doc in the story is wrong 

plus these devices are not meant to be used in this manner they are not accurate enough.

Maybe Im cold blooded but when people set the AC in a room to 17 its bloody freezing to me

For people who live in a warm climate it always surprises me how low they like their A/C

Oh well could be worse than a false reading of course queuing up to have a thermometer rectally inserted might make more stay at home though

But gives proper readings

 

Some staff measures at my ear. No idea whether this is any better.
