Masks and fever checks only do so much. First off, you need to have masks for people to be able to wear masks. That is something we don't have right now in the US. Secondly, fever checks only go so far. There are tons of people that are asymptomatic for two weeks before having a fever. Going off of China's numbers is ignorant in itself.
