Okay, so a guard takes the temperature of everyone going through the checkpoint? If he measures the temp of someone who has Ebola, I am assuming he has come into contact with the virus. Gee, who wants that guard duty?
In addition, after the guard has come into contact with an infected person, does he continue with his duty and expose the subsequent people passing the checkpoint?

“Not a soul came knocking on my door yesterday. However, this morning an individual came to the gate and entered the yard. Armed with a plastic bag of soaps and wearing an Ebola t-shirt, he had little else to offer. I will give him his due, he did embark on lecturing how to protect yourself from the disease and thrust one bar of 72% soap in my direction. I asked him what the soap was for, and he answered for washing hands. Now I don’t know if you know about 72% soap, but I would’t even recommend it for washing clothes! I asked the man what one bar of 72% soap for a household of 5-10 people was going to do! With a sticker on the wall and the house “checked off”, he was on his way to deliver his next bar of soap. He did exactly what he was told to do.”

The thermometers are IR, so they (hopefully) aren’t coming in direct contact.
Even still, I do agree, who wants that guard duty?
And how are they sterilizing the thermometers? Even if they use the little beam-of-light kind, they’d have to get close enough fot the thermometer to get contaminated.
I have to wonder how well the thermometer is getting sterilized between checks. A quick half wipe with an alcohol prep?
