I think monitoring temperature is security theater, like the metal detectors at airports. It isn't actually making us safer. First off, touchless temp probes are just not very accurate, so even if someone has a fever, good chance it won't be picked up. Secondly, many people who have symptomatic, PCR positive covid, never have fever. And finally, if you do have a fever, odds are pretty low you're going to go shopping anyway.

Requiring masks would be a far more effective intervention than temperature screening.
