You're right in that if your temp is above their cutoff, excuses won't be listened to and you'll be kept off the plane.

You'll probably be feeling better tomorrow anyway.

They used to load us up with injections in the military and you felt like a truckload of stumps for about a day. Second day was always much better.

Ibuprofen always worked better for me than acetaminophen. Take it an hour before you expect to go through and you should be OK.

Oh man have not thought about that in a while lol. It was like collecting your food at a buffet counter but instead it was needles poking you. Then to top it off at the end you got the good ol prick to the butt cheek and had to roll around on your ass to wake it back up.

I've had a lifetime of vaccinations in the first 25 years of my life from all the 3rd world shitholes my country sent me to. I'm avoiding any more. I'm no longer required to take them. Flu shot makes me sick. Not going to be a guinea pig for big pharma to make profits on a covid vaccination, that may or may not be effective and quite possibly can be dangerous. I'll willingly be the control part of the population that doesn't get a vaccine.

I think one of the screening questions is them asking you if you are taking any fever reducing medications. Lie.

Same here, got out in 2012 and haven't got a vac shot since. We got more shots in service than probably 10 civvys get in a lifetime. I just make sure I stay fit and eat properly, has been working fine for me so far.

so, somewhere down the line I assume there will be a covid vaccination.
I dont want to start a vaccination / antivax battle, but i just got shot up with several vaccinations yesterday and looking for advice.

I got the shingles vax, the pneumococcal and the flu shot all at once, and i feel like I have gorilla arms dragging through the mud today.
I dont have a fever, but i feel warmer than normal. A fever is sometimes a side effect of the shingles vax.

I am supposed to fly across the country tomorrow for work and I'm concerned I may tip off the temp checker and cause a panic if i am on the higher side. I am sure that my excuse of vax shots wont phase them and worry I'll get booted off the flight based on a walmart brand temp checker thats not calibrated.

So, should I be taking something to reduce my fever, and reduce my gorilla arm dragging? and if so whats the best and when? is ibuprofen better than acetaminophen, and an hour before my flight? two hours?? I dunno.
Once upon a time in an ER when I was running a very high fever they gave me aspirin and tylenol at the same time. It's supposed to work faster. That was their opinion.

It is not "MAY come back" but "WILL come back." The real problem is the overpopulation of people on this planet. ?
And globalization, making it just a airplane flight away for it to span continents.

Never fear though, Mother Nature will step and take care of it, that is. if Putin or Xi don't make it happen sooner. :(
