It's kinda funny to bring this up, but a lot of hype this past week or two.....in terms of re-opening air travel and allowing tourists in....revolves around possible new entry/exit procedures at the airports, which mandate (in the absolute sense) temperature measurements. You'd walk into the airport, and even before you got your ticket or handed the bag over.....you'd be assessed on your temperature.
So the RKI folks (the Robert Koch Institute).....which is noted as the expert among experts on the virus.....spoke and said: "Overall, entry and exit screening measures at airports with temperature measurements when coping with Covid 19 in Germany are assessed as ineffective and the possible added value as negligible."
Yes, there are various ways that you can hide your temperature, and they kinda admit that part of the story. Also, as they said.....some infected folks are simply not showing the normal symptoms (like a fever).
Will this stop or hinder the opening of airports? No....I think the majority of Germans want the airports open, and free access to travel. And I also believe the temperature reading business (while a bad/poor idea) will be a part of the 'gimmick'.
Will some Germans try to deny the temperature-reading gal? Maybe and that's going to be part of the anti-virus agenda as well.
