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.

It's a cultural thing. In America, Asian Americans were wearing face masks starting around January (many wear them all year round). Non-asian Americans don't like to, for whatever reason.

American cars didn’t use to have seat belts. The thinking was, if your car is equipped with seat belts, it’s clearly not safe.
