And if you touch your face with your hands whilst adjusting the mask ? Come on, let’s be honest there must be a better way. That’s all I am saying.
...define "better way." Because while no, masks aren't foolproof, they are an effective way of dramatically reducing (not eliminating, but reducing) the droplets in the air that spread the virus. What "better way" do you see, because I'm not sure I see one.
Temperature checks? Not awful, a lot of places are doing it, but there are two problems with that. The thermal scanners are notoriously not reliable and can be impacted by a LOT of outside factors (including the air temperature. ...in Florida. That'll work well.) The other issue is that a person can have the virus and not be symptomatic. We know this to be true. People can either not have started showing symptoms
yet (meaning they're fine their first day, park-hopping their way around the World, only to fall ill on day 2 or 3 of their vacation) OR they can be an asymptomatic carrier who doesn't have a fever and won't ever get a fever or feel ill but is nevertheless transmitting the virus to others.
Testing everyone? Sure, that might be a great idea, and that's what many states are shooting for eventually, but right now and for the foreseeable future there are some serious problems with that. First, there aren't nearly enough tests. Second, even when there are tests there isn't enough equipment or personnel to process them at the rate they're being administered. Third, they are being manufactured by a wide array of companies, all of which are using different thresholds of antibodies to determine whether they think a person has had it already and/or is therefore immune from it. The tests to see if a person actively has the virus right now this second has an absurd false-result rate, to the point where in China they were administering tests 2-3 times per patient because that cut the "false negative" rate down to "only" 25%. The tests at this point in the US aren't much better than that.
A vaccine? Yeah, that's the end goal, to be sure, but that has issues too. It's likely to take 12-18 months to get one, then the time it'll take to get people injected, and the ridiculously high anti-vax rate in the US.
So what "better way?"
