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!

Kildare Designer Fionnuala Bourke and her range of masks
Aileen Gaskin writes:
Kildare native, Fionnuala Bourke, better known for designing costumes for international dancers, pole dancers and WWE stars, has turned her hand to designing face masks alongside her father, a fire engineer, and a team of sewers.
Three weeks ago the father and daughter designed a unique style of mask, with adjustable straps, after Fionnuala decided that she could help people in her area and turn her design studio into a mask making factory.
In the last three weeks, over 2,000 euro has been donated to Fionnuala’s GoFundMe page.
To date, they have made roughly 1,000 masks in four different washable styles. All of the non-medical masks are currently being donated all over the country by a team of volunteers.
Fionnuala has filmed a sewing tutorial to anyone who wants to sew their own masks. See @fibourkedesign.
