Snag a deal on this infrared thermometer that works in seconds
TL;DR: Grab this Infrared Non-Contact Digital Thermometer for $79.99, a 46% savings as of April 27.
An essential tool in the fight against COVID-19 has straight-up disappeared from retail shelves at the worst possible time. No, we’re not talking about toilet paper (although it’s still AWOL as well) or hand sanitizer. We’re talking about thermometers. With stock either gone or close to it at retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, and Target, thermometers are an especially hot item right now.
Tom Frieden, the former head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, put it best:
I sure hope SOMEONE is coordinating thermometer production. Every household needs one. And buildings will need no-touch thermometers, tho they are far from perfect. https://t.co/tqWXjH2n1r

While your typical run-of-the-mill oral thermometer is still a tough find, all is not lost. You can grab this no-contact, medical-grade, infrared thermometer and take temperature readings in less than a second. Infrared temperature-takers like these are being used at hospitals around the country, as well as at companies like Walmart and Amazon, to screen employees upon entry, as they give simple, instant readings without any need to make physical contact. While it’s not a foolproof way of detecting the coronavirus, temperature-taking is a simple and safe way to let folks know if they’re showing symptoms.
This Infrared Non-Contact Digital Thermometer features a large-screen HD LCD display, one-click measurement, a preset option that allows you to set alarms for a certain temperature, and even an object mode to detect the temperature of things like liquids, foods, and more. You simply hover it close to a person’s forehead and it reads temperature by focusing light that is coming from the forehead in the form of IR rays and funneling that light into the detector. Since you don’t actually have to touch the person or object for a reading, you avoid contamination.
Typically, this thermometer costs $149.99, but you can save nearly 50% and get it on sale for $79.99.
