Miami Heat Using Covid-Sniffing Dogs At NBA Games After Allowing Fans To Return | NBC News NOW
Scamdemic
Coldflu19
More lies and tricks by the ?👃 troublemakers…
Dogs have been trained to smell diseases for a long time like Parkinson’s, etc. They pick up on the shedded cells that are killed by the virus and sweat out of the body. They have been testing them for this since the beginning of the pandemic and they are over 90% accurate. If you want to know more there is a great NY Times article on this. Dogs getting infected is very rare and they haven’t infected humans. All in all a really great, innovative strategy.
What a joke.
Just have the dogs smell every fan's bum as they go through screening.
What is the scent? Struggling livers? What is the serious news behind this??
Proven snake oil
Uhhh who dressed the girl… that shirt looks ridiculous. Omg I’m puttin her in a vid… someone should be fired for letting her wear a pirate shirt… so the dogs will alert anyone that has the flu yay
Let's use a dog to smell an airborne virus… right…
These people are endangering a great amount of people and could cause a massive outbreak should the dog infect everyone it comes in contact with… Which would be everyone in the stadium!!!!
Dogs can carry COVID. This is extremely poor practice and is potentially going to cause the spread of covid
WTF? Dogs CONTRACT COVID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What is going on here??? This is highly inhumane!!!!!!!!!! It's also defeating Social Distancing if the dog becomes the carrier!!!!!!
Many companies have been working on training covid-sniffing dogs since last year. This was last August: https://youtu.be/HaJAwi8kSLU There has been plenty of time to train in the last few months. It's good to see them utilized! 🌼
The government don't want the public to realize the bathroom are unsafe because then no one will clean them
Won't the dogs spread the virus among fans?
Covid smells like Fear ?
There should be a National deployment of these dogs at all public places. GOOD DOGS! Staying home is an even better idea. 😷 Why aren't they being deployed in airports, schools, grocery stores? Why are SPORTS ESSENTIAL BUT NOT OUR CHILDREN AND TEACHERS?
It’s Just a gimmick! just let have fans watch and just ensure proper distancing and wear mask. No need for this bulshit 🤦â€ÂÂ♂ï¸ÂÂ
Take these dogs to All the News Stations that's reporting this mess!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS IS NOTHING BUT SHENANIGANS 🤣🤣🤣🤣This is straight up an example of derision and one of the MANY DUMBEST THINGS I HAVE HEARD!!!!!DOGS SNIFF IN AND EVERYTHING AND EVERYBODY…
YOU CAN'T FOOL ME WITH THIS MESS!!!! OOOOOH WEEEEE DISCERNMENT IS KEY IN THIS HOUR!!!
Reason 3574 why dogs are better than cats
This is why Trump coined the phrase “FAKE NEWSâ€ÂÂ. Dogs could never smell diseases such as HIV, ZIKA, CANCER, DIABETES, EBOLA
HERPES, GONORRHEA, SYPHILLIS OR PNEUMONIA but now the CDC and the CIA /MEDIA wants us to believe a dog can identify via smell who has Covid-19?????
Wow this makes me wanna go to a nba game
Do the dogs have to wear a mask tho
Doesn't make any sense
Right 🥴 wtf is wrong with us
you people really will believe anything your rulers tell you.
Covid-sniffing dogs?
What a a bunch of bullsh…
Edit: Oh, my bad.
"According to experts"…
Police State
How is basketball so essential that it's needs this? Stay home. The basketball owners are millionaires worried about profit. The fact that America cares more about dogs sniffing sports stars instead of being this dillegent in a school or hospital is disgusting. Innovation for profit. Protect the wealthy and important.
This is crazy
Doesnt seem safe to me let's just expose a dog to covid and walk him by people that sounds real helpful
If that dog sneezes on me I'm going in lol. Going to jail for beating up a dog lol!!!
Why they even use the test? 95% in seconds !
"Miami Heat Using Covid-Sniffing Dogs At NBA Games" motivates us, the people of America, to redouble our efforts to rapidly find out at any given moment, including even while On-Line, who among us are unwittingly contagious (i.e. pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic) in order to #ConvinceItForward for them to call their doctor and to self-quarantine per CDC guidelines in hopes of stopping this pandemic instead of having more #MourningInAmerica (per #LincolnProject). Thus, we're hoping for the best while preparing for the worse-case scenario of the #UKvariant strain(s) mutations and others like the South African, Brazilian & #Cluster5Mink mutations rendering current vaccines no longer effective.
Wtf do we even need this for? To single people out even more
What if the dog decides to lie or false read? Objectionable.
What about the dogs? Are they vaccinated or imune? Where are the animal protection organs to speak against this kind of abuse?
Way better than invasive tests that require people to be exposed and touched by someone who tests hundreds of people a day?
This dog test needs to be a thing everywhere.
Useful. Should use these doggos at anti-masker gatherings to keep them safe.
😂😂😂
I think I can smell it too: it makes the person emit strong breath even thru mask that smells like they were holding pennies in a sweaty hand. 😷 i detected this scent in a positively tested Uber driver & managed to keep distance not to test positive by wearing my mask & opening the windows & not consuming any food or drink near the person or in enclosed space.
They need these in the airports and more….
People just stay home.
But if they sniff the people want the dog catch the viru
