Household Community Quarantine Passes

They are using thermal scanners at the various checkpoints set up around Valencia. I had an interesting scan a few minutes ago. The scanner issued a warning of "low" rather than even an actual temp. So the other worker brought his scanner around and got the same thing. I think I know why, but not sure. My normal temp is usually on the low side anyway. I had just gotten in the car with a sweaty forehead and had the aircon blasting my face to cool off. My skin temp was probably way low when they tested due to the evaporation and cold dry air. They just let me pass anyway since no fever. Certainly not a foolproof screening technique if it can be defeated this way.

 

I think the highest temperature I’ve been scanned at in the last weeks was 35.9*C. These laser thermometers need to be calibrated, they don’t just work out of the box. Obviously no one has ever read the instructions.

I just wonder if people are getting confused by the various types (names) of quarantines and if a better system would be using Levels (e.g. 1 to 3 or whatever) or colours (yellow, orange red), as for typhoons and other risks.

 

Weird, but not surprising. I got mine at the same office three days ago. I guess at the time they had been less unsure about what was going on. And/or they felt somewhat obligated since I went the day before and they told me to come back the next day for one. In any case, I haven't yet been required to present it. Oh well. Just rolling with the punches!

 

here's a summary of the luzon ''enhanced community quarantine.''

numbers one to five, like typhoon ratings, would be less confusing.
