Scent dogs can detect COVID-19 more rapidly and accurately than current tests, finds review study

Scent dogs may represent a cheaper, faster and more effective way to detect COVID-19, and could be a key tool in future pandemics, a new review of recent research suggests. The review, published in the Journal of Osteopathic Medicine, found that scent dogs are as effective, or even more effective, than conventional COVID-19 tests such as RT-PCR.

Makes sense. I wonder if Apopo's tuberculosis-sniffing Giant Pouched Rats would be good at it as well.

Let me know when I can pop into a local pharmacy and pick up a pack of disposable sniffer dogs

BedSharkPal,

Less drug sniffing dogs and more COVID sniffing dogs at airports please.

RockyBockySocky,

Less exploiting dogs for profit overall please.

It's not like current covid tests are super slow and inaccurate, exploiting dogs for it should not be allowed.
