Watch for Canceled meetings, and scheduling being changed

7. Trump too?

He very clearly doesn't want to be tested.

8. They might has well have all been licking the microphone at the rose garden briefing

Because that’s nothing compared to the ass kissing they all were doing and political blowjobs to Trump....



Now they can check their temperatures?

13. Abundance of caution.🙄

David and Sally Abel on the Diamond Princess, documented their entire journey and have finally got two negatives in a row, they have been in a Japanese hospital for weeks now. They have live streamed frequently and they didn't have fevers until the day their positive tests came back and I believe even then, only one of them that had an elevated temp.

11. According to an article posted here on DU, 2/3 of cases are passed on before the passer has symptoms

Symptoms like, you know, fever. Temp checks are not even a half-measure. They won't do much if everything else about your response/system is lacking. Like it is in the US, thanks to Trump and Repukes.
