I'm done with this covid BS. A dental receptionist has no right to demand me submit to an unrelated medical exam as a condition of service. Unsurprising that it was three women behind the counter. I'm going to keep calling different practices until I find one that won't violate my rights. Taking temperature has never been a requirement in this state, and it's a ludicrous virtue-signal to ask for one.
Just wanted to rant. Never submit or give your money to covid fascists.
Most Dentists are small businesses. They know if they get the wuflu, they're down for a minmum two weeks, and in the meantime not earning, and still paying for receptionist, assistant, rent etc. My dentist (who was within a year of planned retirement), closed his office and never reopened. Be grateful for what you can get.
