A person infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus is running a fever with an internal body temperature of 103 °F (39.4 °C). This raises the person's skin temperature to 36.5 °C. The person is standing unclothed in a room with an ambient temperature of 21.0°C. If the temperature of the person's skin is maintained at 36.5 °C solely by the energy obtained from the metabolic conversion of food, how many Calories would this person have to consume per hour? Assume heat is lost only by radiation, and the surface area and emissivity of the person's skin are 1.50 m² and 0.800, respectively. Numbe
