When you go to the doctor, he or she may check your body temperature and that usually means a glass thermometer under the tongue or in the armpit or use of a digital thermometer.

This is because the doctor needs to know your core temperature not the temperature of your skin, which can vary significantly.

If you’re rushing you may get a little warm and your skin will try to cool you down by pushing that heat to the skin surface where it can be cooled. If you wash your hands then your skin will be cooler and so on.

This latest scam is about a magic watch that can detect a fever and hence tell you if you have Covid-19.

The title of the message is

“Insanely Popular “Coronavirus Fever-Detection” SmartWatch Finally Arrives in Our Country”.
