The temperature reading depends on which part of the body is being measured. The typical daytime temperatures among healthy adults are as follows: Temperature in the rectum (rectal), vagina, or in the ear (tympanic) is about 37.5 °C (99.5 °F) [20] [medical citation needed] Temperature in the mouth (oral) is about 36.8 °C (98.2 °F) [12]
Hyperthermia is an elevation of body temperature over the temperature set point, due to either too much heat production or not enough heat loss. [1] [7] Hyperthermia is thus not considered fever. [7]: 103 [40] Hyperthermia should not be confused with hyperpyrexia (which is a very high fever). [7]: 102
The severity of COVID-19 varies. It may take a mild course with few or no symptoms, resembling other common upper respiratory diseases such as the common cold. In 3–4% of cases (7.4% for those over age 65) symptoms are severe enough to cause hospitalisation. [153]

As with all living things, potassium-containing bananas emit radioactivity at low levels occurring naturally from the potassium-40 (K-40) isotope. [139] The banana equivalent dose of radiation was developed in 1995 as a simple teaching-tool to educate the public about the natural, small amount of K-40 radiation occurring in everyone and in ...
[239] [240] Ideal conditions for a nuptial flight to begin is when humidity levels are above 80% and when the soil temperature is above 18 °C (64 °F). Nuptial flights only occur when the ambient temperature is 24–32 °C (75–90 °F). [228] Queens are often found 1–2.3 miles from the nest they flew from.
Unemployment in 2007 was estimated at 9.4%; [246] chronic issues are underemployment, low employability of youth, and a low female labour participation rate of only 13.5%, [247]: 5, 13 as was the practice of Nokku kooli, "wages for looking on". [248] By 1999–2000, the rural and urban poverty rates dropped to 10.0% and 9.6%, respectively. [249]
