Remark’s website states: “Traditional thermal imagers and temperature devices require a human operator to scan each patron as they walk through a security point. The close proximity creates an uncomfortable intrusive experience for customers and employees in addition to causing delays at point of entry.” The site further describes their product as solving that problem: “Our solutions provide touch-free access control and monitoring, as well as accurate temperature measurement and the ability to scan as many as 120 people per minute, a rate that is approximately 10 times faster than manual checks. Our solutions also filter out non-human heat sources and provide security personnel with real-time alerts with photo identification.”
The Remark scanners would make the process largely invisible to guests. Only those who show a high temperature would be pulled aside for additional screening. With enough of these scanners, guests entering the resort wouldn’t need to stop at all, except for baggage check, which we hope will be speeded up with the use of conveyor belt scanners (as Universal Studios uses) rather than manual checking by hand.

One thing this pandemic taught me, is that as volatile as the market has been, it also does a lot of things that make sense (Blue Apron shot up because people are staying home, Beyond Meat skyrocketed as soon as worries of the food supply came up). Now that the "return to normalcy" is coming back, I have been thinking about what people are going to do right away, like Flying, going to the movies etc. [Reply]

You can double your money with one pull on a slot machine. That doesn't mean that your strategy for winning is better than the half-blind old lady sitting next to you. [Reply]
Interesting, maybe for a swing trade on good news for cruise lines.

The report did not mention specific numbers, however.
