Fever has shown to be a very poor diagnostic indicator for Covid-19. Too many confounding factors. That's one of the first things checked and it was abandoned early.
Temperature (fever) history has some value in prognosis though.

Does the second sentence contradict the first? Confused...

Well they're partying as usual on Florida beaches, there from all over the continent, soon to bring it back home to freely distribute. Reminds me of Roger Waters' Radio Kaos.

Nobody, including Kinsa, is suggesting a direct correlation of elevated temperatures to COVID-19, at least at this point, given the limited data available. However, it may be a useful tool in predicting outbreaks and directing limited resources. The NYT article on the Kinsa map has some more information: Can Smart Thermometers Track the Spread of the Coronavirus? - The New York Times
Spot check temperature as someone enters a clinic/hospital = not useful to determine disease.
Patient's history of temperature over several days/weeks: useful trend line for that specific patient.
This is diagnostics 101, and useful for a number of markers, sorry if I shorthand wrote it.

Ozone will not disinfect most foods. It cannot penetrate more than one layer of cells(within days), but it can oxidise fats, rendering them rancid, at least on the surface. Sort of instant freezer burn.
Does that men that the temperature screening at places like airports and congress are not useful? At least it gives the illusion something constructive is happening.
Temperature screening will only catch people late in the disease. It will not catch those with no symptoms who are carriers and will spread the disease.
Still of some limited value, but not an effective measure to stop the spread.

An internet connected thermometer. Now that is something I never knew anybody wanted. Be afraid!
Statistics show 4 out of 5 contract it from someone who didn't know they have it..80%
I'm watching CNN as I write
Local supermarkets are low on bread, milk, eggs and toilet roll, surely you aren't going to need much toilet roll if that's your diet?
High Protein low discharge diet. Throw in a little cheese and you have it made.
Yup, the walking discriminators.

My town hosts a yearly illegal St. Pats street party attended by increasingly larger university student crowds. Last year 33,000 crowded pretty well shoulder to shoulder onto a short 1000ft. student housing street. It's become a famous destination with attendees from all over. Authorities have been powerless to put a halt to it and therefore have accommodated it with portable facilities just to maintain some semblance of social control and with police patrols and temporary fencing around the perimeter. It has become a monster.
This year however, in the midst of this pandemic, warnings posted in the area to stay away with the prospect of huge fines and jail to those who defy the cease and desist order coupled with the publication of the future we're facing, not a single partygoer showed up. Not a one, nada, nyet, zilch. And there wasn't an army of cops out there either, just the usual arrangement.
Just sayin'

Temperature screening at airports is a lot like the TSA screening. Looks good, really doesn't do much.
