\t While no one claimed responsibility for the attack, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif pointed the finger at Israel, calling the killing an act of ``\"state terror.''
\t ``Terrorists murdered an eminent Iranian scientist today. This cowardice _ with serious indications of Israeli role _ shows desperate warmongering of perpetrators,'' Zarif wrote on Twitter.
Their arguments are based on an understanding of the physiology of fever, body temperature measurement, and fever prevalence in people who transmit COVID-19.
Needing to measure body core temperature raises the first problem with fever screening.
But the forehead skin or inner eye temperatures that infrared thermometers or thermal cameras usually measure in fever screening are not body core temperatures.
Thermal cameras would declare you safe, because your skin temperature is low, but you could be in the most infectious phase of the fever.
So, in addition to not measuring body core temperature well, infrared thermometers are being used to find a high temperature that many people exposed to COVID-19 won't have.

Ultimately, we don’t have the funds to finance these things in order to compete with bigger nations,” he told Barbados TODAY

By Eva Vergara and Esteban Felix Associated Press SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — Red-eyed from crying, José Collantes Navarro couldn't contain himself and crumpled against the wall as he watched his partner being buried at the Catholic Cemetery in Chile's capital. She had lost the fight against the new coronavirus, while he had survived. For many pandemic survivors and those who lost loved ones, like the 36-year-old Collantes, the tragedy lingers and their lives are never the same. 'Daddy, daddy, why did mommy die?' asks his 5-year-old daughter Kehity, whose mother, Silvia Cano Campos, died in mid-June. He doesn't know what […]

Fake and bogus cure claims are a longstanding, but neglected public health problem.
In Nigeria, for instance, as early as the 1990s, Jeremiah Abalaka, a surgeon with fringe training in immunology, startled the world with his HIV cure claim.
Fighting these cure claims is integral to containing the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, merely identifying bogus COVID-19 cure claims or alerting the public about them is no longer enough.
Countries and national health bodies must integrate traditional healers, faith leaders and community principals in their COVID-19 response strategies.
