A tragic demonstration that temperature checks are insufficient to curtail #COVID19. Our work shows that peak transmission occurs during the presymptomatic phase before people develop a fever. bostonglobe.com/2020/08/29/nat…

@Alison_Galvani Love the Bible quote at the end where the pastor basically says that the entire virus is a conspiracy theory and that even though he’s been exposed it’s totally fine to go fly around the state and be an officiant at public weddings. Some of these people are definitely lemmings
@Alison_Galvani Maybe temperature checks are a better benchmark of the culture's reaction to a pandemic with lots of unknowns. E.g. in the East it was seen as a measure with no harms to the individual, similar to masks, it was an inconvenience ppl accepted bc ppl took COVID seriously 🤔
@Alison_Galvani @morgfair An Important Tweet, Thank You👈😷✨
@Alison_Galvani @HayThatsMyBike all those ppl refusing to wear masks in public because "they feel fine / are not sick" .... those are the ppl who are trying to get us all killed
@Alison_Galvani @DFisman Can someone link the best research that shows that peak transmission occurs during the presymptomatic phase? Thanks so much.
@Alison_Galvani I’ve said this for a while now, if so many people are asymptomatic and spreading, then a temperature check won’t catch it
@Alison_Galvani The question is: is temperature taking better than doing nothing?
