Sharp Group Commercial Manager Joe Doolan and the The Thermal Body Temperature Management System in action
Um.
The Thermal Body Temperature Management System.
A body scanning device From Irish security experts Sharp Group which it claims will “enable businesses to reopen more quickly”.
Sharp sez:
It measures the temperature of visitors as they pass giving ‘accurate readings to within 0.3 degrees’ and is ‘effective at a range of up to three metres’.
If the visitor’s temperature is above normal levels, the unit sounds an audible or visual alarm, and if integrated with the existing access control system can prevent the individual from going any further…
Meanwhile..
Sharp Group Commercial Manager Joe Doolan says:
“A person who comes into the building and unknowingly spreads the Coronavirus to others will be a big concern for many businesses in the coming months This system helps to reduce that risk and give businesses and their customers piece of mind.”
That’s enough dystopia for one day.
Fight!

https://www.clearway.co.uk/our-services/body-temperature-detection-camera/
Reason for Sharp group getting the free ad is surely because the headline referencing the Simpsons’ B Sharps episode was too difficult to resist….
GDPR issues all over this
Take two paracetemol or calpol to lower body temp
Next
*sigh* Why is there GDPR issues all over this?
I don’t think body temperature and thermal imaging cameras comes under the remit of GDPR.
Likely it’s as valid for a business to do as on-site CCTV recording is.
It makes them a data controller. Plus is there consent to look at what may be revealing about their health?
I always found disprin worked best :)
Body temp regulation used to be a nightmare as an alcoholic.
After a shower, I’d sit naked for a half hour at the edge of the bed by an open window in the middle of January trying to cool off…. :/
Mad days Ted, long behind me :)
Great. Unless you are brewing the virus and your temperature is normal.
Or unless you are asymptomatic (40% of infections) and have no fever, or unless they caught you after the fever and you are shedding the virus, or unless any of the other four million other reasons.
Besides, its not fever they should be looking at its the airborne transmission thats where the big innovation reward is.
I will bet my eye teeth the asymptomatics will be at least twice 40% Johnny.
But the advice from Covid 1,2,3…..18 Harris is that taking temperatures (as suggested, at Airports) holds no purpose.
I have gone through many African airports during the height of the West Africa Ebola outbreak. They just show who may be particularly hot, and they are quietly ushered aside to find out why. Running for your connection turns out not to be taken at face value (pardon the pun).
Do you see any similarities between your experience of the Ebola thing and what is happening now Slightly?
Was there ever a cure, treatment or vaccine ever found for that btw- or did it just fade away?
Oh, it is very much still there, and there is a large ongoing outbreak in eastern Congo. There is an effective treatment, but no valid vaccine yet,
Ebola is spread by direct transmission of body fluids, and can be caught by simply shaking hands – a real big thing in African greetings. It is also aerosol if someone coughs or sneezes and also gets on surfaces.
Also families spreading it at funerals, so again restricted and private funerals. Sometimes, even secret ones, as local traditions and rituals would have families dig up the body of a loved one, carry out the ritual (usually washing the body) and so ending up with the families catching it.
So a lot of what we are seeing in this response is very similar – the not touching, staying away from each other, health workers in full PPE, and discussions of how to cough into the elbow, and washing hands and surfaces. Main difference was there was less of a lockdown, or focus on public wearing PPE of some form.
Sorry for the longwinded answer.
