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

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
I think the western objection is their public eating culture which allows caged live animals to await their fate next to the food dining areas with only the slaughter floor separating , all within comfy enclosed market places , sanctioned for the whole family

Try telling Trump that the Spanish Flu should be called the United States of America flu....
Certain types of Flu have in their oficial WHO sanction description the city or country that the flu strain was first isolated - is a long standing standard naming format. Australia , America, China .No big deal
here is one regarding Australia ( shock horror consult the lawyers ! )
