How is this just starting? Here in Singapore, employers have been required to do twice-daily temperature checks for months.

This is the lowest of low-hanging fruit.

I asked the same thing over 3 weeks ago, and the general response on HN was interesting. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22543327

This is quite interesting phenomenon, how did mainstream media manage to spread the same mis-information for weeks?

Did they have a meeting together and agreed to carry out the same lie for the greater good???

Are you under the impression that nine million people from 60,000 organizations got together to keep the same conspiracy?

They're not in a conspiracy or even in communication, they're applying the same world-view that responds similarly when presented with the same incentives.

This is why it doesn't help as much as you'd expect to provide better information, to expose a prominent member of the 'conspiracy' in a lie, or even to outright replace the public policy - the same culture and the same systems are still out there, resulting in a large fraction of the population reaching the same conclusions. Only education and cultural change (which are slow, operating on timescales of decades) can overcome this problem.
