Why Does the United States Ignore the Possibility of Using Sniffer Dogs to Detect Covid in Mass Settings?

By Lambert Strether of Corrente. I don’t know. By Hanlon’s Razor, because we’re dumb. So that’s it, that’s the post. Anyhow, I stan for sniffer dogs to detect Covid (Links May 5, 2020 and August 5, 2020, those being the examples Google allows me to find). And I keep seeing stories about them. So this will be a very simple post. First, I’m going to list all the real-world examples of sniffer dogs detecting Covid that I can find; some are pilots, some are fully implemented. Next, I’ll present the (few) studies I’ve been able to find on their effectiveness. Finally, I’ll briefly discuss the cost of Covid sniffer dogs, and their cost-effectiveness. First, to the examples.

German sniffer dogs detect COVID-19 with 94% accuracy

By Reuters Staff Slideshow ( 5 images ) HANOVER, Germany (Reuters) - A German veterinary clinic has trained sniffer dogs to detect the novel coronavirus in human saliva samples with 94% accuracy. The dogs are conditioned to scent out the “corona odour” that comes from cells in infected people, said Esther Schalke, a vet at Germany’s armed forces school for service dogs. Filou, a 3-year-old Belgian Shepherd, and Joe Cocker, a 1-year-old Cocker Spaniel, are two of the dogs being trained at Hanover’s University of Veterinary Medicine. “We did a study where we had dogs sniffing samples from COVID-positive patients and we can say that they have a 94% probability in our study . that they can sniff them out,” said Holger Volk, head of the veterinary clinic.
