Most of the world uses Celsius. Back home 37 is already reason to worry something is wrong ---

> what if Taiwan faces a medical triage situation? Again, I’m aware most Taiwanese would not treat me any differently than a Taiwanese patient, and I don’t expect priority treatment. I’d be more likely to let those in greater need be treated first. But what if I am assigned doctor or nurse who decides on their own that caring for me is less important, because I am a foreigner? LOL ![image](https://forumosauploads-12829.kxcdn.com/original/3X/e/5/e5fb2f4ca8613795ed92a6cba609e379427b8db6.png) At least they change the air filter on the regular. That should keep CV-19 at bay. ---

That’s good to see. It is a real apology. I had seen their page when they kept posting their stock answer about following the government rules. ---

I hate to say this but there appears to be a racist police, government, info giver employee telling restaurants to do this. It’s not a coincidence that they have the same view about complying with the government. It would be interesting to see who started this. ---

37C measured with those temp guns is definitely fever. You have to realize your forehead temp is going to be low, 37C normal means temperature they take sticking a thermometer in your bum… ---

China. It started in China. China did have that policy. Then people here see the TikTok and it gives them ideas, ideas that work on their engrained beliefs/education. ---
