Great idea. Radio said that a single trained labrador or spaniel could carry out 250 tests in an hour. That's the kind of ramping up this emergency requires. It would be just like entering a racecourse past sniffer dogs. Of course, people may be a little sensitive to be told that they have covid-19 or cancer by a dog; so further tests would need to be carried out on those sent in to the "second queue."

Given the behaviour of my friends dog, I've a feeling her cats arse might be a superspreader.
