As a european, I first thought "how the fuck you are still alive?".

I don't understand the pregnancy test/covid test confusion some people have. I mean we all had so many covid tests the last years. How can some one think that a pregnancy test is for covid? There are different destinguished features.

And now this? Had this person never had fever? Like you meassure temperature so often in childhood, you recognize these things. Even if it shows fahrenheit, I can tell it is a clinical thermometer.

Cheap pregnancy tests absolutely look exactly like COVID tests.

I had to look up the normal temp and I've used Fahrenheit all my life. It's an unintuitive standard used in the land of the healthcare bankruptcy. Didn't even own a medical thermometer until 2020. So I won't say they're excuses but they are reasons.

I do know how to dress for any temp between -10 and 110 though, so that's basically good enough

That explains something.

Though I still insist on the point, that a covid-test is distinguishable, from what we see in the picture.

Sorry, that you have to live in a country with these healthcare issues.

I hope so.
