Seems an infection leaves one without a sense of smell , so maybe a quick test is to subject the target to smelling salts - now if the target splutters and recoils then is ok , if no reaction then good reason for further tesing . This should work regardless of any outward signs , so great at the pre-school , primary school etc

However such testing has not been clinically evaluated as a standard casual test

I hated the Bats in QLD, the Grand Children sed to love to see them coming over at dusk, but the Poo was awful.
Poo on the car and in the swimming pool YUK it is like toffee
I know!
Up in Mackay, Qld, where I visit my daughter, you'd park in the community car park, it was shaded by mango trees. You'd come back to your car not only covered in rotten mangos,but also in corrosive fruit bat droppings.
At some point in time, in the 1950s, I guess, the Powers That Be decided it woild be good to plant shading fruit trees in communiity areas.
It was a good thought I guess, but down the track, it was a public nuisance, so they cut all the beautiful mango trees down.
The fruit bats moved on.

Seeing a flock of bats is a childhood memory
Can't go hating on them just yet, it isn't proven the virus came from them
Also you can't call it a Chinese virus, & hate on them either because it could have "originated" somewhere else (it was detected and identified there)
Even then should they be hated on too?
I just think the Chinese leader is incompetent, the cover ups, lies, & Trump gave admiration for their transparency?! my arrrs

Joe I dont know its name but it was a little creature like a small Amadillo and it has armer like scales, the chinese use the scales in their medicine.
