Coronavirus quick test ( folk version)

[rogevibe]

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

NO Water does not work nor does a hair dryer up your nose 🙂

From the article:

Q. Can drinking alcohol help prevent you getting the virus?

A. No

[ecar3483]

Okay, so hot water won't work, and neither will drinking alcohol, but what about hot alcohol?

Boiling the electric jug, half full of rum, filled the house with a glorious aroma, and it makes a great inhaler, too, ha ha...

How come no one else ever thinks of these things?

LOL after drinking that you would be saying "Virus, what Virus"
