As if temperatures had not already become a constant factor in our lives, the pandemic brought hand-held thermometers and infrared heat cameras to the entrance of every building. In one strangely funny instance, a door guard took my temperature and quickly said “step aside,” showing me the reading: 39.1 degrees Celsius. I very much doubted that I was sick and, just as I was about to protest, the guard said: “Don’t worry, we’ll redo it in a few minutes, very often it’s an erroneous reading.” And so it proved to be.
