It doesn't matter that there's a barrier in-between if you're breathing the same air. We knew early that IR detection was more effective.

Oblivious compliance. People prefer the option that looks effective. Besides, it's cheaper.

Do you have a cite for that? Temperature worked fabulously to stop SARS-COV-1 but I was under the impression that it was fairly ineffective for SARS-COV-2. Giving every school a few thermometers would have been a lot cheaper than installing plexi glass.
