Massachusetts First In Nation To Implement Covid K-9 Unit Which Begs The Question Can Covid Arrests For The Unvaccinated Be Far Behind?

Be honest, does the idea of canine attack dogs trained to sniff out COVID-19 fill you with a sense of safety and security, or does it signal just a touch of end times foreboding within you? In my mind, I see the COVID K9 unit as a good thing, right up to the moment they are used to hunt down “the unvaccinated” so they can be removed and detained in a facility to be named later. Think that’s just fearmongering? Maybe you need to read about Bill A416 in New York.

It’s really not hard to see the direction that things are moving in, all you need is the Holy Spirit, which all saved people have, and a King James Bible, which all saved people should have, open it up and believe what you read in the context where you find it. Tick, tock, time is growing ever so short…

Massachusetts county first to implement COVID K-9 unit FROM ABC NEWS: “Today, festivals are happening, restaurants are full and concert venues are packed,” said Bristol County Sheriff Thomas M. Hodgson in a statement published Thursday. “We’ve made so much progress, and our new COVID-19 detection program is one way the people of Bristol County can stay ahead of the curve.” Huntah, a 9-month old female black lab, and Duke, a 9-month-old male golden lab/retriever mix, are the two canines that have now joined the Bristol County K-9 unit after completing a COVID-19 detection training program developed by the International Forensic Research Institute at Florida International University.

The program, which uses masks worn by COVID-19 positive patients, kills the virus with an ultraviolet light, leaving the smell of the virus for dogs to detect. The canines are then trained to sniff out the virus odor, or detect the change in metabolism of a person infected with COVID-19 without the risk of infection, making the program safe for dogs during the training process.

WITH THIS TRAINING, THE DOGS ARE ABLE TO DETECT THE CORONAVIRUS WITH OVER 90% ACCURACY, DR. KEN FURTON, PROVOST AND EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT AT FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY, TOLD ABC RADIO’S “PERSPECTIVE” PODCAST IN FEBRUARY.

“MORE THAN NINE TIMES OUT OF 10, WHEN THE ODOR IS THERE OR A POSITIVE MASK IS THERE, THE DOGS ALERT AND THEY GET VERY FEW FALSE POSITIVES,” FURTON SAID. “SO THEY’RE VERY, VERY ACCURATE, ACTUALLY MORE ACCURATE THAN EVEN PCR TESTING IN THE LABORATORY.”

According to the Bristol County Sheriff’s Office, Huntah and Duke will be used to detect the virus in schools, town buildings, nursing homes and medical facilities. Captain Paul Douglas sees these two new additions to the K-9 unit as a “decontamination tool” to keep these spaces safe against the virus.

“THE DOGS CAN DETECT THE COVID ODOR ON A COUNTER OR TABLE IF IT WAS RECENTLY TOUCHED BY A COVID-POSITIVE INDIVIDUAL, OR EVEN DETECT THE ODOR ON A TISSUE USED BY SOMEONE WITH COVID,” DOUGLAS SAID.

With this detection program developed by scientists, trained dogs will be able to detect all variants of COVID-19, including the delta variant.

“This is all science,” Douglas said during a canine graduation ceremony on Wednesday. “This program was developed by professors, doctors and scientists at FIU, and we couldn’t be more proud or excited to execute it here in Bristol County.”

Probably not detecting the viral particles directly. Rather some chemical change occuring as a result of infection. Interesting to see if the dogs can differentiate between covid and influenza, etc. I believe they can be trained to detect some types of cancer and not others.

What are they going to do when the dog starts alerting on almost everyone, including the handler?

I’m going to start carrying a cube of bacon in my pocket to throw them off the trail.

No kidding.

and there are still people who scoff that we are nearing the end of days.

Unreal.

Do they have to be standing before the guillotine for not taking the mark before they recognize it?

Are you talking about Biden's Vaxx Troopers? Or Antifa?

These people have truly gone off the deep end over the communist chinese cooties.

A quote from Edmund Blackadder comes to mind: "The eyes are open, the mouth moves but Mr. Brain has long since departed, hasn't he?"

To which I add confidently: "... along with Mr. Courage and Mr. Strength of so many millions of adult American women and, well, I'll stretch the definition of the term, American "men".

Witch trials, mandatory church attendance etc...yes MASS could follow their history of bigotry and religious fascism against nonconformists...

The vaccine has become a tenet of a new religion...

Bow down and Worship the idol and the high priest Fauci and his court the CDC...

Or be put to death...

Pit of fire here I come...

If the dog sucks virus up its nose, won’t it get the Covid?

We know how virulent it is.

I wondered the same, but they say:

““THE DOGS CAN DETECT THE COVID ODOR ON A COUNTER OR TABLE IF IT WAS RECENTLY TOUCHED BY A COVID-POSITIVE INDIVIDUAL. . . .”

So, maybe my sweat or body oil odor changes?

I’m very happy with my LARGE MALE GSD guarding our wrought iron fenced/gated front porch. The front door is behind the wrought iron gate.

Ah yeah, I forgot even one iota of COVID is enough to infect an entire metropolitan area. Guess these dogs are goners.

The dogs don’t detect the virus itself they detect the discrete metabolic secretions that humans produce when infected. Particularly mucous and saliva metaboids those are shed constantly by a human and fall to the surfaces near by or that are touched by a human. Ever wonder how blood hounds track escaped prisoners through the open air woods with pin point accuracy? This is how, the hound group of dogs have noses 100,000 times more sensitive than humans and can follow the scent trail of a human hours after that individual out of 8 billion other humans have passed by. That’s how good dogs noses are. This scientist took that ability and isolated the scent metabolic compounds of COVID infected people then trains the dogs superhuman nose to find specifically those compounds which yes would be all over the surfaces near an infected human or that they touched with bare hands. Your hands are constantly secreting oils, sweat and dropping dead skin cells on everything you touch everywhere all the time. A single skin cells is enough now for forensics to pull DNA from btw.

This method is not unsurprisingly more accurate than PCR since only a truly infected person would be shedding the metabolic secretions there would be no false positives only false negatives of the person is not shedding large amounts of the metabolics. As a society it makes perfect sense to isolate those who are infectious and actively shedding virus symptomatic or not. Society also has the absolute right of quarantine for infectious diseases this method makes finding and isolating those virus vector spreaders quick, effective and accurate. Its win win win for stopping the spread of the bioweapon. There would be no way to tell if a person is unvaccinated that’s just tinfoil hat crap. You have to have an active COVID infection to have the scents on your body the only thing is unvaccinated people are hundreds of times more likely to be infected but the outcome is the same one has to be actively infected for the dogs to smell them and we can all agree from science that actively infected people should be isolated until clear of the infection. As they have zero right to spread an infectious disease to the rest of uninfected society the Supreme Court’s upheld medical quarantine for over 200 years it’s a plenary power of government.

IF these states had any sense, they would send their drug dogs to the border. But they want to use the canines to cull people out.

priorities.
