"The devices can range from $15 to $300, and many people need them only a few times a year."
What kind of thermometers do you need in the USA to measure a common fever??
They are less than $5 in EU [0], but I'm sure it's because of our "higher taxes" and "long waits".

- kube-system 3y agoThe last thermometer I bought here in the US was $1.25. However, it is still true that thermometers can range from $15 to $300. And a smartphone app that solves a $300 problem sounds a lot more impressive in a press release than one that solves a $1.25 problem. This isn't an economics article.
