How is this just starting? Here in Singapore, employers have been required to do twice-daily temperature checks for months.

This is the lowest of low-hanging fruit.

I asked the same thing over 3 weeks ago, and the general response on HN was interesting. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22543327

This is quite interesting phenomenon, how did mainstream media manage to spread the same mis-information for weeks?

Did they have a meeting together and agreed to carry out the same lie for the greater good???

well, this comes from WHO. i honestly don't understand why they're lying. maybe to stop people for buying al masks? but this is incredibly stupid, there are textile masks too that don't help a lot, but still do a little, as it limits the distance that the virus is expelled to (and if everyone wears them, everybody gets protected because the people with the virus will have a smaller air spreading area around them).
