OT: mass screening for COVID-19 at work places & venuesOff Topic:
On a totally unrelated to Bioasis topic but important to everyone as the World deals with the pandemic, I am posting this info to promote a way for businesses and venues to open and get back to business. Perhaps there are businesses that you work for or know of that would benefit from this technology ... feel free to share.
Until most of the world can be vaccinated we still need other solutions like masking, social distancing, washing hands, etc. to help control the spread of the virus. I found this company, Juiceworks (with the AI technology provided by another company Predictmedix), that is getting some exposure this weekend after their Safe Entry Stations were used to screen guests at big Super Bowl parties in Florida this weekend.

Safe Entry Stations and how
@wtrtampa has taken the necessary steps regarding COVID-19 to ensure the safety of partygoers during the Big Game Weekend in Tampa Bay, Florida.
Fox News reports “… the machine lit up red for one person last night who was then directed to a tent on the site, they got a rapid (COVID-19 antigen) test that ended up being positive, so that person along with their group of friends was not allowed inside the venue”.

If the light turns green, you can go in. But, if the light turns red, you're then directed to a tent on-site where a nurse gives a rapid COVID-19 test. … We put up the machines that can help identify someone who maybe didn't know they had it," said Michael Piper, who managed the Steve Aoki concert at WTR.” Here’s how to safely host large gatherings:
1. Everyone gets (touchless) retina and body core temperature checked by going through Safe Entry Stations @getsafeentry to scan for 7 different COVID-19 symptoms: cough, fever, exhaustion, congestion, sweat gland activation, redness of eyes & headache. This technology has proven to have 96% accuracy.
2. If anyone screens (light turns
red) positive, they go to additional rapid antigen testing on site with @w4humanity @floridamedicallab and wait 15 minutes for results.
3. Anyone testing positive will be turned away from entry.
4. Everyone who screens (light turns
green) negative enjoys the party!
Here’s two more examples where party guests were screened with the
Safe Entry Stations this weekend:
