Hello and I'm Alyssa Mass

from Monica.

Hello and welcome to Hysteria.

I'm Erin Ryan.

And I'm Alyssa, before we get started, I have a question for you.

I love questions.

Okay, so if a lot of COVID spread is asymptomatic and having a fever is a symptom,

then what does taking your temperature before you go into a place even do?

The only thing is that sometimes your body will give you the temperature

before you have other symptoms.

But for women, here's one thing that's not totally fair as

per usual is that a lot of times our body temperature elevates during our period

and so it's like if you're going into a place and you're up to like 99 point something they're like oh that's a fever and you're like no it's mensies.

It's lady fever. I've got lady fever. I've got lady fever. Okay well that was informative but I still think we're probably

letting a lot of people into places that could still spread the disease and it does seem like

Oh without question. Another form of security theater in a country that loves security theater.

It's like the lowest hanging of fruit.

Right.

Right.

I mean, that's all that it is.

And it's true because you can totally be spreading it.

I guess it's like you catch the one in three people who have it.
