When asia had sars china implemented infra red cameras. They worked by showing those people whose bodies were above normal temp. Those who had a fever or infection would show up brighter than those around them. It better than trying to spot by eye.
Of course this will never happen in TnT.

People are panicing thinking they have swine flu and flooding health institutions. Swine flu isn't that special for people to be freaking out so. Human influenza has been in Trinidad and Tobago before and it will be after this swine flu gone. The acting like its aids or something.. actually aids has a way higher mortality rate why aren't people pushing to get tested for HIV instead. A doctor on tv said the mortality rate for swine flu is less that 0.5 % not even 1% . You are only likely to die from the flu if you are already unhealthy, those are the people who would need treatment for any other flu virus.

Yeah the same things our mothers have been telling us since we were old enough to listen. Wash your hands after you handle money or use a public restroom or before you are going to eat. To use soap and water or hand sanitzer. Not to touch surfaces that alot of people touch like atm keypads and payphones or toilet doornobs. People think that swine flu is air borne but it is only airborne in the form of spittle from coughing and sneezing. There i only so far a drop of spit could fly. And after all of the dressing up they do in public they go home and be unhygienic as ever. It goes to show how we were not being clean before all this panic that spreading all those people who claim to bathe two and three times a day and ting lol.. (once in de morning and again in the evening is ok but three times probably wasting water) if we were always that clean why are we worried.
The point is we should be keeping clean and sanitary regardless of what out there... especially since fecal bacteria tends to end up in our restaurant ice inexpicably... er maybe not so inexplicably.

Yea it was time off with pay. 
The results came back negative...shux
The only reason we took so many precautions was because we have about six Tobago workers who go to Tobago on weekends...And on Monday four of them came back with the cold..Which lead nine of us Trinidad workers contracting it.
