Default Bio-detection dogs...

...are being trained to detect Covid-19.

In theory, they would be able to tell from your breath whether or not you have it, which would speed up testing considerably.

That would certainly be a quick test! Would the dogs get sick?

They don't seem to suffer from the other things they are trained to detect, but certainly it could be different for a virus.

Give it a week, and you will be able to buy a "Covid-19 Bio Service Dog" jacket on eBay.
Get the Faux Service dog brigade into any restaurant, store, etc!
