A bit of funny from the Melbourne zoo -- (link) - Beryllium Mar 21, 18:22
(I don't have a fever but...) I was reading an article on ways to check if you have a fever without a thermometer - ty97 Mar 21, 18:14 21
- I got thermometers at home from when my BF had a really bad one two years ago and we’ve been monitoring this -- nm - JackDawson Mar 21, 19:03

- A BBQ thermometer works in a pinch - Reagen Mar 21, 18:29 2
  - Trust me, I already researched or a meat thermometer was a usable alternative. -- nm - ty97 Mar 21, 18:32 1
    - I think our insta read meat'o'meter is more accurate than our suck on it for a minute one (which says i'm 96.8) -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 21, 20:14
- I got a forehead one. It seems inaccurate. It beeps as done the second I push the button, but my temp is usually usually below normal. If I hold it - jnine Mar 21, 18:22

      - The internet finds a way. There's probably some little-known line of benwa potatoes that would fit. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 21, 18:24
- I get a very distinct headache when I have a fever. Almost never fails that I know I have one before I take my temp -- nm - Bacon Mar 21, 18:20
- Well, that's frankly more sensible than my solution. Which involved inserting your finger... well, you know where this is going. -- nm - Mop Mar 21, 18:18 2
  - The problem with this method is you have to know what it feels like when you *don't* have a fever, first. So, everyone take a second right now... -- nm - Mop Mar 21, 18:25
  - "Nobody better lay a finger on my butterfinger." -- nm - Beryllium Mar 21, 18:20
- I don't have a thermometer. have you ordered one for delivery when they come in? -- nm - amanda Mar 21, 18:16 1

        I expect many forms of electronics to experience shortages in coming months, similar to how flooding in Thailand caused a hard drive crisis. -- nm - David Mar 21, 18:30 2
        
        I'm expecting entire industries to collapse. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 21, 18:34 1
        
        Not necessarily mine, but potentially the industry that my employer powers. Which would be very bad for us. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 21, 18:35
  - But if he waited this long to get an X he won't even consider the next one until at least 2025. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 21, 18:10 2

  - I am not that type of player. Nor am I the one who maxed out all I could do on any given day. I am super filthy casual. I just randomly do this/that. -- nm - Qale Mar 21, 17:50

- Who is your lion? I have Frita the sheep and Hamlet the hamster. - Dark Callisto Mar 21, 17:31 1

I guess I never heard young people were "immune" just that they tended to have less bad cases (on average) - ty97 Mar 21, 16:41 7
