[QUOTE=WestCoast1;2482365]What's a normal temperature range (celcius)? Those hand-held thermal laser scanners that they use almost everywhere here, pointed at your forehead. What's is a reasonable low or high temp reading that would allow someone from entering a mall, government office, or business? What temp is considered too high (fever)?[/QUOTE]36 to 37 is OK. 37 is considered "normal". 38 would warrant investigation. 35 is borderline hypothermia.

For the over 65 drop those by 1 degree.

Note that the cheap IR readers are +/- 3 degrees.

Cheers. G.

Anyone below 39 c is probably going to get waved into a mall. But if the same minimum wage security employee is wearing a white lab coat or scrubs, then maybe their will be a 5 second delay as they consider looking intelligent to let you still pass because you are a foreigner.

Very sad.

Body Temperature measurements are better than nothing but I would not totally rely on it. Some people run hot or cold normally. Pity those like the veteran with shrapnel trying to get through an airport metal detector. Girls run hot at certain times. Many super spreaders are documented to have gone through multiple temperature check points. Some show no symptoms at all. Even those sniffer machines are not totally reliable. A dog does much better.

Out of nowhere, one senior member Pmed me to tell me that I m in a grave situation mongering right now in Cebu Philippines and he is much safer in his home country as if death is caused exclusively by covid.

I don't even know this guy nor have any convo w him directly or indirectly before.

He is too naive to think that covid can be spread by fxxking pros only.

Having blue balls is one thing, choking on sour grapes isn't healthy.

Even after opening up am sure some countries will remain 'persona non grata' such as USA, Brazil, India who seem unable / unwilling to control the spread of COVID in their countries as the Philippines can't afford another lockdown or COVID wave in 2021.

Openly reporting the other person's identity is wrong. Private Messages are sent with the understanding that they will be kept: PRIVATE. If you thought his message was out of line, you could have reported it to the board Admin.

Yeah, I should left his ID out. Noted.
I took a shortcut to deter him to bother me again.
Some exposure may be good for him too to exercise discretion.

I guess we better find other places to dip our wicks, for another year at least, if this is true.

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2483702]There are about 183 other countries on the planet to visit. No need to call yourself stuck.[/QUOTE]Problem for USA is that those 183 countries won't take the risk and your virus rates.

The Ph saying they will be closed until end of 2020 is at best a guess. Who would have such foresight and exactness? Better to just consider that the world is uncertain at the moment and plan for what is in place at the moment.

Doesn't sound like Ph is much fun a the moment anyway.

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2483702]There are about 183 other countries on the planet to visit. No need to call yourself stuck.[/QUOTE]But lots of them not open to foreign travel either. (Highly dependent on country of origin and countries visited recently.).

For our mongering pleasure we need GFE, subservient, not too expensive, preferably fresh, young, pleasing mentality girls. Not too many countries left with these qualities of girls.
