Fido May Help Lick CoVid
from Dr. Howard Smith OnCall Hosted by Howard G. Smith MD, AM
Vidcast: https://youtu.be/BUzAQyrnQ2c A group of trained Australian dogs can sniff out CoVid-infected persons with excellent and sometimes 100% accuracy. These highly-trained canines are part of an international program coordinated by France’s National Veterinary School. The animals are conditioned to detect characteristic odors emanating from the respiratory tracts of CoVid-infected persons using the same protocols used for explosive-detection training. This work seems perfectly safe for dogs as they are resistant to CoVd-19 infection. Cohorts of such trained animals will be deployed in airports, mass transit stations, and even in schools to permit instantaneous detection of CoVid-infected persons. CoVid infection will be confirmed by standard viral testing. https://www.newswise.com/coronavirus/covid-19-dogs-could-be-sniffing-out-cases-in-months/?article_id=735562 #covid #dogs #screening
