A lot of this going around lately. Just because you don’t agree with someone, their opinion isn’t the cause of this mess.

OP has a point and I’ve read the number of asymptomatic as high as 50%.

Other than creating more corporate control over employees, statistically how do temp checks improve the situation?

A better solution would be the 5 mins tests. Then you have a 99% certainty.

Many opinions have significantly contributed to the mess we're in. It's obviously impossible to go back in time and fix the mistakes of the past six weeks, but it's definitely worth calling out harmful inaction-memes when they're still being repeated!
