Extra Strength Tylenol sales will go through the roof! Resort hotels will surely mark up the pills 2X the retail price and guests will still pay for it.

I don't think the vacation insurance business would ever touch 'pandemic coverage' with the proverbial ten foot pole. If anything, we're all being told now to not touch anything with a six foot pole !!

Did he get tested too?

Do they have any idea how she may have contracted it if neither of them have left the house recently? You can’t get it being outdoors by yourself, I wouldn’t think

You said she had it and was wearing a mask but that doesn’t mean he was tested. Just trying to determine how she may have contacted it.

Ok that makes sense. Grocery shopping is definitely a possibility. I think many of us were under the impression you were saying she doesn’t leave the house.

I suppose if he had said “she never leaves the house” that would make sense.

He said “she is a stay at home type” which seemed to imply confusion as to how she acquired the virus. obviously we read to much into that.
Thermal cameras aren't accurate enough for a medical diagnosis, but good enough for an initial screening.
Those flagged by thermal cameras would then need an medical grade IR camera that is properly used. These cameras require proper distance, dry skin, and takes into account the ambient temperature. This would almost certainly be done indoors or under a tent. Wipe your brow first.
This would then flag people with real fevers who then become candidates for what will be hopefully just a 15 minute swab test.
Before a certain poster reiterates their concerns voiced in another thread: when you're out in public, you can be photographed and videographed and your conversations recorded. When you act it public, those public acts have no 'rights to privacy.' The same would be for the part of the light spectrum in the infrared range. If you don't want people to see what you look light in infrared, stop radiating heat when you're out in public!!
Disney already scans us for electromagnetic radiation with metal detectors and wands. They already go through our bags (which police can't unless they have cause or a warrant). They scan our finger print (yes, I know, for isometric readings only).
Disney can deny entry to anyone they want for whatever reason they want (except for a few protected classes, which doesn't give those protected classes carte blanche to ignore other reasonable barriers).
Or just let people in willy nilly even if they're coughing up a storm.

Not sure if anyone's pointed this out, but would Disney parks be therefore actively blocking menopausal women from being allowed inside their parks? #hotflashes

That’s not how that works

Why? If a woman has a hot flash as she's entering the thermometer zone, wouldn't her temperature show as elevated and she would not be allowed inside? I wasn't being facetious - it's another legitimate reason a temperature would show high for a specific group of people that would therefore be unable to enter the park although they would in no way be contagious.
It's a hypothetical but if they did temperatures, that could be a legit issue for a specific group.

Fever is not a symptom of a hot flash. You feel hot while having a hot flash but your internal body temperature does not increase.

Okay. Seems different from the women I've seen with sweat pouring off them in the midst of one but I cannot say firsthand.

Sweat pouring off is definitely a symptom of a hot flash. But it doesn’t mean you have a fever.
Hormonal imbalances, ovulation or female conditions like endometriosis can affect body temperature in women.
In any case, I wonder if no-touch thermometers can distinguish between skin being hot and elevated internal body temperature?

Since WDW is private property and a private business I have no problem with temperature scans or even rapid tests. I am choosing to go to WDW, something that is far from a necessity to do, so I can elect not go if I don't want to be screened. Same as the TSA at the airport. I don't have to fly so I can avoid the screening by driving instead.
Of course, if the German virologist is right then screening at WDW wouldn't be necessary because the environment at WDW, with the possible exception of fireworks viewing, isn't consistent with how he thinks the virus spreads.
Better to just require masks to automatically cover coughs and sneezes.
