People infected with covid-19 may not ever get a temperature. We've focussed heavily on that because it seems obvious, but it's possible that plenty of people spreading covid-19 have anosmia but no other symptoms.
Some people will get temperature, but they can spread covid-19 before their temperature starts and after it's finished.
- treis 7y agoWe don't need one method to stop all transmissions. Some will be stopped with a temperature check, some by masks, some by symptomatic people staying home, some by washing hands, etc. The goal is for all of those "somes" to add up to infected people, on average, transmitting it to fewer than 1 other person. That will lead to it eventually dying out.
