Trained sniffer dogs can accurately identify airport passengers infected with coronavirus, new research suggests.

Scientists say this method of detection is likely to be especially valuable, not only in the early stages of a pandemic when other resources might not yet be available, but also to help contain an ongoing pandemic.

They add that their findings highlight the importance of continuous retraining as new Covid-19 variants emerge. Our preliminary observations suggest that dogs primed with one virus type can in a few hours be retrained to detect its variants

They can also sniff out terminators and those infected with the Z Virus that caused zombies.

I saw it on a movie I think.

I can imagine one of the dogs doing this will be thinking, “Why couldn’t I be trained to sniff for drugs instead?”

Poor dogs. As if their lives aren’t short enough. What a waste.

The scientists just need a 10 million dollar grant to perfect the system.

So these dogs are trained to sniff out COVID. What do the German shepherds do?

German shepherds because someone who “tests positive” might try to flee the on-site mandatory vaccination. #Fahrenheit451

So, if they sniff the COVID, will they get it and be carriers?

It’s time for more hysteria and the Mid-Term Covid variant to ensure more mail in ballot fraud. This should be expected. It’s just more B.S.

Begin nightmare:

So I’m on a flight to somewhere. I land, and get off the plane.

There at customs is a line of dogs. Maybe 10 or 20 of various breeds.

It’s like the movie, “The Gauntlet,” and I’m Clint Eastwood.
First dog sniffs my junk. Hey,wtf. Customs guy says, “drugs.”

Second dog sniffs my crotch. Sheesh. What now I ask the Gestapo. Herr Hydrick says, “bombs.”

I get to the third dog, and starts sniffing my coat pocket. Now Herr Goebbels gets involved. Vat du vee have in your coat pocket, he bellows?

My cell phone (you Richard Cranium).

So he starts checking out the apps. Hmmm says Herr Goebbels. Then he goes through my bookmarks, stops and yells, “HAHa,” you’re a FReeper! Guards!

Too late for Goebbels, a pulled the neoprene dagger from my sock and cut his carotid artery...

To be continued.

Classic movie. When every tweener were thinking about a young Kim Cattrall.
