It would suck to not be able to travel if one of your kids is sick

Not sure if you’re serious. If your kid is sick they should stay home.

Kids run small fevers all the time for minor things

Yep, my kids are always sick.

Yeah, my son had a temp of 102 or so for about 3 days. It would come and go with medicine. No other symptoms.

Yep. My kids run fevers when they don’t even know it. Usually lasts for a couple of hours and then goes away

If one of your kids are sick why are you taking them through the airport?

4/5/20 12:43pm

It sucks to be next to families whose kids are sick

How were Chinese flyers with the virus able to fly out of China during the outbreak with mass thermal scanning?

Because we know people can spread without being symptomatic

Oh China is doing it? That makes it better

4/5/20 1:44pm

Most people wouldn't even know there was a temp sensor. You already have to walk

But they woul be pulling people of line, having to calibrate the machines, etc.

Airlines would need to guarantee refunds for travelers turned away for temp

And then tattoo their arms with a number if they test positive

Ojiisan

I'm kind of shocked that anybody would argue known sick people should fly.

Sure, there could be additional tests. Not an automatic disqualifier. But there

You think airlines are going to refund airfare if someone says they’re sick?!

Cougfourlife

4/5/20 5:07pm

Says they are sick. No. But register a fever. Yes.

Lance71

You see the problem of being sick on an airplane right?

Lance71

4/5/20 7:51pm
