Don't panic Mom, we are fine.
I didn't mention the H1N1 Quarantine procedures because really it was a non issue for us. We connected through Tokyo and since we did not enter China from an "infected" country, the procedures seemed a lot less involved. No one boarded our plane and took our temperature when we landed in Beijing. We had to fill out a health questionnaire and have our temperature scanned a couple of times in the Beijing airport. No big deal.
This evening we had a note under our door to call the front desk. The hospital called our hotel and wants our temperature readings done twice a day. So the hotel gave us a thermometer and asked us to report our temperature to the front desk twice a day. I asked if anyone on our plane is sick and the front desk said No. Hopefully that's the case.
So here's Jon getting his temperature taken. Despite leaving the thermometer under our tongue for SEVERAL minutes, our temperatures were both below normal. Does hand sanitizer ruin a thermometer? Because I used a lot of it before this picture was taken. The random thermometer seemed like a bigger health risk than that plane ride two days ago.

When I went to Hong Kong years ago right after the SARS epidemic, I had my tempurature taken right before getting on the plan to come home and also had to wear a face mask while at the ER with my daughter (that's a whole other story). I'm sure that this is just standard procedure!
Hand sanitizer on the thermo. LOL! I'd be freaked out about germs! Enjoy your weekend before the BIG event!
Wash thermometer with soap and COLD water between people.......no need for hand sanitizer....Good Luck!!
