Police in China, Dubai, and Italy are using these surveillance helmets to scan people for COVID-19 fever as they walk past and it may be our future normal

A police officer wears a smart helmet as he uses it to check the temperature of the workers, during the outbreak of the coronavirus disease in Dubai, United Arab Emirates April 23, 2020. Picture taken April 23, 2020Chinese police, health staff, and transport workers have been using smart helmets to monitor people for high temperatures in the fight against COVID-19.

Experts say thermal scanning can be a good way to measure for fever, but question how effective such measures would be as some people affected by COVID-19 are asymptomatic and won't run a temperature.The video starts with appropriately menacing music. On the left is a motionless police officer, face hidden by an outsized helmet with a camera mounted on top. On the right is the live feed from the helmet itself, showing people walking around in face masks.

She added that customers put in early orders for samples, tested the devices out, and then put in larger orders. Asked about the accuracy of the helmet's temperature scanning, Dr Guo said precision was "96%" and that the company had conducted extensive tests. Dr Guo told Business Insider: "Government authorities and some private buyers are using the helmets. In China, local policemen, nurses, security guards, and people [staffing] checking points at metro stations are all using the helmets.

Professor Jones added that people could be running a temperature for a number of other reasons, such as going through the menopause. "That leads to a whole bunch of false positives," he said.

You don't need to be an expert to know this is stupid because there are tens or hundreds of diseases that raise one's temperature.

They need to start using pattern detection & probability statistics to solve crimes. If a pattern emerges in one locale or medium where perp and victim are present either in residence or cyberly, questions emerge as to 'Likelyhood that this is 'by chance', or a masked agenda.
