sezze Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 It is a fast method of checking fever , which in fact is something which says you got a infection or not . Since covid is a infection , fever can be a indicator . However , since not all people develop fever , and tablets can be taken to put the fever down , it is far from reliable test . So no , temp can be a indication but it is far from reliable . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Caldera Posted May 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2021 I think the psychological effect shouldn't be underestimated, regardless of how reliable an indicator having a high temperature is. Someone who is feeling ill might well be further discouraged from going out if they know that they will be subjected to temperature checks wherever they go. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebumbu Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 If you have no fever, and your blood oxygen is at normal levels, it's some indication that at least you don't have raging covid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higher than normal body temperature is a good indicator something is wrong.! Which could be 1 of dozens of different illnesses. The more accurate way would be a COVID test.!

scubascuba3 Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) This gives you an idea of symptoms with this strain. Less smell taste issues. About 23% have fever Edited May 4, 2021 by scubascuba3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacessit Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 No, because when an instrument wielded by a Thai at variable distances says my body is 32 degrees C, I should be suffering from hypothermia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradise Pete Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 About half of new infections are transmitted before the person has developed symptoms, so while temp checking is not useless it's also not a strong indicator of safety. Obviously asymptomatic people generally don't yet know that they're infected, which is why the rate is so high. Once symptoms begin to develop people tend to stay home.

Jingthing Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) The best indicator is loss of smell. For example if you drink coffee smell it every day. If later you can't smell it or you smell it much less you're probably infected with Covid-19. Edited May 4, 2021 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
