Scientists in Finland are developing a type of coronavirus test that works like a breathalyzer, delivering results in just two minutes. They hope to gather data on the test’s accuracy, including among asymptomatic patients, over the next month.

New COVID-19 Test Similar To Breathalyzer Shows Promise | NBC Nightly News

Excellent!
No one enjoys a long swab shoved all the way back to their nasopharynx.
I would agree with you, but I’m not sure that last word it’s a doozy, sounds like a sinus Passage to me
It was terrible. Necessary, but terrible.
2 minute warning.
Vineland has got it down! 👏👏👏👏
Study MERS and COPD patients with that thing.
Triials Finnish in 4 weeks? Good. How do you sterilize these between users?
Mouth piece changes, you dont inhale through them you blow, same as any breathalyzer.
You mean I dont have to have my brain poked anymore?
Follow the money.
It sounds good
Have also seen (heard of )
virus sniffing dogs
would be A GREAT EMPOWERING TOOL in this world
J. M. They are using dogs in the U.K and France.
This could save the planet. You could open business and schools just test upon entry to any business. It could be so easily tracked. Better invest in there stock
Asymptomatic don’t spread the virus. They release no significant virus level from their breath, so this will create an environment that is too safe
This is great news! My testing center is tired of doing rectal swabs.
I would bet that the line is three days long to hang their butt out of their car window.
Thanks god. Science is coming to help out!
Impressive! Hope some other company doesn’t steal their idea.
so amazing.
SOLD OUT TO STN
Just have Biden sniff it out
@NBCNEWS Ain’t that about a glitch 🤯5am this morning I was sitting here looking at my inhaler and the peak flow meter. Thinking about what if they can change the testing to breathalyzers. If there’s a journalist video on aerosol covid19 transmission traveling on pollution molecular level even further than 6ft, if I can see the forecast of pollen levels in my local area on my phone daily. Why can’t they have a meter that will test covid19 if you breathe in the meter to tell the results right on site especially when we need something to detect on school locations when our children are returning back to school. Why hasn’t any other country show physical evidence of children at school in any other country like the news keeps reporting. Why hasn’t any one create a page on covid19 survivors especially if it’s children? I want to see or read about actual findings from people affected. Not hear one to five stories since March. Where is the evidence from families effected like the data numbers states on public health websites. If its 1000 children 0-17 locally then I want to hear from those 1000 covid19 survivors/families. About symptoms, recovery, treatment, exposure, death, and any other problems their going through. Not to judge but to educate myself even more and also show community support. So until then everyone stating anything about what they think without showing us actually the facts I’m ignoring you. I work in nursing and I have been collecting my own evidence from people who have been diagnosed and posting videos. Every detail I keep putting together as a puzzle and listing it down in writing All the symptoms. CDC denied then retracted. Where certain symptoms I listed is still there and patiently waiting for CDC to recognize now they are telling the public a new symptom discovered. No its not new its been there since the beginning its just new for ignorant USA to believe the truth and also lies like safe to open the public in may when we should of just limited ourselves but kept kids in school and then do stay home orders may june july and then reopen August. But no ya’ll where to much in a rush. Now we are backtracking and one thing in life I can’t stand is backtracking things I already done or be ignored on something I new it would be harmful when summertime came. Now I’m sitting here watching everything play out. 😒😷
NO THANKS!
If people can’t breathe from symptoms how do you expect them to exhale with any force? 👎
Why isn’t NBC investigating the inflated CDC coronavirus numbers? https://twitter.com/EmeraldRobinson/status/1284104344225423361
