Meaning EPIDEMIC:「flow from person in quarantine, forced isolation into netting and poultice in tray」deposited there for an examination, meaning to REVIEW and then to REVISE treatment based upon the results. WARM perhaps was the associated fever. Modern replacement is「flow」with「tongue in mouth, say」and「netting in plate」describing the flow of people talking about the spread of sexually transmitted disease, evidenced by the poultices and nettings in trays removed from infected people. Diseases flowing from person to person also were spread by engaging in oral sex with an infected body part. Refers to TEMPERATURE, approximately that of the human body, measured by a medical practitioner of an infected person to determine feverish conditions, likely sensed in the 'old days' by placing fingers under the「tongue in mouth.」Note that this glyph does not refer to water or food brought to a prisoner as some have suggested…back then in the good ol' days, nobody cared about prisoners, let alone the temperature of food brought to prisoners.

Always keep in mind that these glyphs most likely were originally designed by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that), representing Chinese society many thousands of years ago, but intended NOT as a written or spoken language when created. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system! Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is, and often with multiple correct answers to each riddle, the same as is true today. Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? But, have there been necessary rewrites and altered explanations of the original elemental meanings over the centuries?

No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how seemingly bad our human existence is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or could they have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any lexicon. This site explains multiple meanings of glyphs ignored or censored by other sources, generally as being too embarrassing to admit today.
