It won’t be long until BLM and the NAACP claim peeps of color are being profiled by racist white dog handlers and their canines.

Sure they can! A virus so small you can only see it with an electron microscope and a dog can tell the difference between covid and any other flue or common cold. I want to see the evidence. I call BS. Just another way to make it look like everyone has covid. Just like the fake test. That is what I think this is. But hey if the media says it then it must be true.

The only way to prove this is to confirm covid or another virus is in a person- by using an electron microscope and genetic testing in a lab. Then line them up and turn the dogs loose. Using the covid test to determine who has covid or not is just using bad science to make bad science.

This isn't exactly new, even more than a year and a half ago, dogs were way more accurate than tests.

Maybe you don't know about dogs, but they are one of the most hi tech things humans have. Dogs can detect that people will have seizures in advance. Currently science has no other way to do that. Dogs can detect diabetic blood sugar problems, cancer, etc. If you read the power of dog's smell, you wouldn't be so skeptical.

Well the how many dogs will be infected with Covid as sniffer dogs? How many will die, just so you can fly to your dream vacation destination. How many dogs who get covid will pass it onto the airline travelers, dog handlers, and other personnel?

What keeps them from catching the bug?

We had a basset hound that was more dialed in to my wife’s blood sugars than her meter.

He knew and made it known if something was out of wack before her cmg went off.

We miss him for a number of reasons (old age claimed him) but his ability to sense blood sugar issues is high on that list.

No one trained him. He just knew. He’d wake her up and night to alert her.

They did make the argument that pets could get and carry and transmit covid so you have a valid point

Yes, dogs have that ability. You didn’t even train him for that, did you?

That’s amazing. But there must have been something that initially triggered him to the fact that this was important.

Did she do something routinely if her sugar went out-of-whack that he might notice? Take medicine?

I was impressed with the cadaver dog perched in the bow of a Maryland State Police boat. (Drowning victim search).

All we are talking about here is an extremely slight genetic difference. Even a dogs nose can’t determine such a slight difference.

I’m not sure that everything has to do with smell. They may be able to smell high blood sugar; but to Revel’s point, it is hard to understand that they can smell the difference between closely related viruses.

But I doubt they can ‘smell’ oncoming seizures either, which they’ve proved that they are able to sense.

Maybe there’s more going on than the senses we know.

I’ve seen it frequently, that dogs can detect cancer. (And have no doubt that cancer has its own special odor).

Humans can detect scent of one part per billion: instruments somewhat better.

Dogs can detect scent of one part per TRILLION!!

I’m sure cancer has an odor.

But what about seizures that haven’t even happened yet?

She’s type 1.

We thought it was reaction to something she did but he would wake her up from a dead sleep too. I am a night owl and watched it happen a few times. Normally about 30-45 seconds later her cgm (monitors sugars in near real time) would alarm.

He was a basset hound. You don’t train them. They train you. (Stubborn but lovable)
