It is yet not known how many people are asymptomatic - there are many different studies published now but many with significant flaws (selection bias etc). Until we don’t know better numbers it just safer to measure temp to get at least those with fever which seems to be the most common sign of infection.

It’ll keep out the people who are symptomatic.
Germany should soon have solid statistics on what percentage of people there have antibodies but never had symptoms.

“You’re being asked to change your business model overnight,” Jacobson said. “It’s like you’re a parent, and suddenly someone waved a magic wand and said, ‘Your previous toddler human child is now an armadillo. Figure it out.’ ”

"Riyad looked around the room, gauging the mood. This restaurant was his life’s work. He’d learned to cook these meals in his grandmothers’ kitchens and in the “tribe houses” of his hometown in Raqqa, Syria. Now his grandmothers were dead, his native city destroyed by war. But his restaurant still stood, and with it a piece of his tribe’s culture, finding new life thousands of miles away in a Tennessee strip mall. But with the virus in the air, business was eroding. The restaurant was bringing in 23 percent of projected weekly revenue. “The ship was sinking slowly,” he would tell me later. “We were choking. Going underwater.”
That night, he looked around at his employees. They ranged in age from their early 20s to their 50s. A few were white, native Hendersonvillians. Others were immigrants from Jordan and Ecuador and Mexico and elsewhere. “This is my new tribe,” he likes to say about himself and his staff. Together, they’d built a restaurant consistently named the best in their mostly white and conservative suburban county. But now, he looked around the room and he saw that they were afraid. Of illness. Of unemployment. Of how the virus could destroy life in so many cruel and unpredictable ways."

Really enjoyed this interview
“I was treating his farm like a grocery store and it was idiotic…what I recognized in a moment was this is bananas. I’m here celebrated as a farm-to-table chef and I’m only celebrating one aspect of the farm.”

Slate used to be about writing. What are they so busy with these days that they can’t transcribe an interview?

I’m so mad I just noticed this because I spent time transcribing different parts to share with a friend!
But there’s a view transcript button with a red underline

Thanks. I don’t think that was there two hours ago.
I’m guessing that was transcribed by a bot.
S1: … Hello and welcome to sleep. Money, food. And this week, the greatest monologue asked of the chef world, Mr. Den Baba. Then welcome.
S2: I think my wife once said I was thinking his monologue is, too, but she wasn’t saying it as a compliment.

That makes sense. I was wondering how I could have missed it last night. Just assumed I was tired.
Haha!! gotta love the low effort transcription results. Not even a quick proofread.

It’s a shame, because this really is a good interview. Actually not an interview. More like Dan Barber going on a series of beautiful rants. I guess he really is one of the great monologuists.
But yeah, this podcast or whatever it is did not sound promising at first. I’m glad I left it playing in the background, because once it picked up steam…
