Today I went to a client's to work on site, after 3 months of remote work. Gotta say, I'm enjoying the human interaction.
The temperature thing:
- Infrared isn’t 100% accurate and the acceptable range can be ridiculous (e.g. Mastercraft Maximum IR Thermometer is +/- 2°C whereas my $6000 FLIR at work is +/- 2% between 15-35°C (getting worse the further you get out of that range))
- Infrared ear thermometers are more accurate (my Braun is +/- 0.2°C between 35-42°C)
- Body temperature can fluctuate throughout the day
- Body temperature increases with exercise
- Different people have different body temperature ranges

So putting a limit of 37.5°C is just silly. I’ll hit 37.5°C easily after 30 minutes on a stationary bike (which I have tested; wake up at around 36.5°C, after exercise around 37.5°C, after resting an hour around 37°C).
