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

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

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