Infrared Screening for Flu Symptoms, N1H1 at Ports of Entry isn't Working
Posted by Thermo Guy under General
It is July 3nd, 2009 and the world has many challenges with H1N1, Flu Pandemics, Climate Change, droughts, floods, famine, economy, fire severity, agriculture, groundwater, C02 emissions, GHG emissions, Mercury emissions, acid rain, heat waves, etc with a domino effect where President Obama is reporting health costs could bankrupt the U.S government. That statement alone makes all of this national security issues because you are going to have a tough time being a super power when you are bankrupt.
What do H1N1, Flu Pandemics, Climate Change, droughts, floods, famine, economy, fire severity, agriculture, C02 emissions, GHG emissions, Mercury emissions, acid rain, heat waves, etc and health all have in common? 100% of it is temperature related and the problem is we can't see temperature until is is literally glowing red hot.
Why does the world's education system use calculators and thermometers for temperature considerations but infrared technology applications are not incorporated in education anywhere? The infrared equipment manufacturers sell equipment all over the world for military, electrical distribution inspection, mechanical, refractory inspections and as interest grows they expand into medical, etc without the understanding the imaging application exceeds their expertise. Flir sells 80% of the infrared technology in the world, are publicly traded with sales over a billion. There is big money in certifications that are better than nothing but they are not recognized in education so the technology can be brought mainstream.
The latest media on screening at airports reports thermal imaging as useless after imaging 100s of millions at ports of entry. Media reporting screening useless at ports of entry http://www.thesundaily.com/article.cfm?id=33931 . There hasn't been 1 image produced of a flu. Here is a link showing a flu image for 100 dollars.

Infrared is an incredible and underutilized technology, it has to have an application to succeed. Don't purchase equipment without the inclusion of a successful imaging application that can be represented to academia.
