After reading the paper, https://archive.is/ONUmi, about the way COVID-19 makes people ill, it strikes me that there may be a quicker, and cheaper, way to screen for infected people. It may not be 100%, but it may be a start.
I smoked for 44 years then when my 6-lead monitor failed in the recovery room, they didn’t know if it was equipment failure, they called in cardiologist. So I was put on cardiac ward not orthopedic. Would not let me off the ward whereas ortho let patients go to smoking area. Compounding that, when they transfused me with my own blood, it was thick and lumpy. That led to labored breathing, heparin and warfarin and a 7 day stay under pulmonologist care. ended up quitting about 14 years ago. Still have the desire to grab a smoke at times but have not done so
Yeah,it’s a bad habit but it’s the only one I have left.
Depends on where the test is being taken.
If the paper was real, and the symptoms were obvious, that would clearly be a way to detect the disease, in some cases.
It would be easier though if we just imagine that everybody gets boils that spell out “Virus”.
