A few papers have pics like this how terrifying is this ?
Temperature checks like this are pointless so many variables infra red thermometers are not a clinical device and not designed for this.
Who ever came up with this clearly has no idea about health the over use of PPE reinforcers it.
If they get these basics wrong what else have they got wrong?

I have wondered about the infared temperature checks. It isn't checking the core temperature, is it? Just the surface. Would it vary much on a hot day? What if the young child has been running or skipped to school? What if they are late and have been towed along by a parent with a much longer stride? Surely they'll be hot?
Of course, I am assuming they walk to school like ours did. I wonder if the crushing air conditioning in a Range-Rooney would give a false negative to make up for all the false positives?
Can someone help a non-scientist here? We tended to go for a traditional mercury in the mouth theometer once they got slightly older and before that an ear jobbie.

I've remembered why Matt Hancock makes me shudder every time I see him. He reminds me of Noseybonk from the 80s kid's TV show Jigsaw. It's a combination of the smile and the eyes I think.

A polite subtle letter that could really be summarised as "Minister, you are lying through your teeth".
Media questions should be interesting this evening, although Hancock will make the issue out as a positive.
No your right any and every thing can effect it. In isolation temperature like many other things is just part of a clinical picture. Unless you're trained to look , build and understand a rounded picture it's pointless. It's health care by a machine that go's ping a growing problem which is way many hospitals went back to manual BP's. Too many staff put the cuff on and pushed the button and never stopped to look at the patient. I've failed a few of my pre hospital care students for that over the years.
The ear ones are not without problem either a tiny degree difference when using them can effect the reading.

I was going to write "ear jobs" but thought that was even more open to interpretation!

Is who presents the briefing when listed anywhere? (It'd be nice to avoid Patel and Jenrick if nothing else...)
