COVID 19: A temporal scanner is used to pick up heat from the temporal artery - so if you place it on different areas of the body - you may get different temperatures.

Tested negative for covid. How to treat this at home: slight sore throat up beneath the nose, some draining into the throat, ringing ears, some hotness no fever and head pressure. Seems to be something viral whole house caught it?
