So the 10 or so dogs that have been trained up to sniff out Covid have done very well (apart from one that will be redeployed). 80/100 % success rate with some. Not sure
why, when the government boast about world beating systems so little publicity has been given over to something that we do actually seem to be world leaders in.

Our trained sniffer dogs are some of the best, trained in blood, cadavers, cancers and now Covid, but the only thing they can't do is speak and tell you who from. This is down to the trained ( hopefully ) dog-handlers.

As in the McCann case dogs sniffed out blood and cadaver scent in an apartment but it didn't necessarily mean that Madeleine was involved unless it was further tested------which it wasn't.

A dog such as this is only as good as its master/trainer.

But if they’re used in airports they can hopefully sniff out anyone with the virus so they can be tested and isolated. It might save everyone having to quarantine for 14 days.

That’s a very good idea MayBee. Can I promote you to Home Secretary instead of that useless Priti Patel? You’d make a far better job of it.
