In the armies of Israel and Britain, service dogs are trying to teach how to identify patients with coronavirus by smell

The Israeli and British armies decided to train service dogs to identify people infected with coronavirus infection. In Israel, a special unit of military dog ​​handlers "Okets" is used for these purposes.

In the plot of the 13th channel of the Israeli TV, they reported that at this stage experimental animal training is being conducted. It is noted that dogs are trying to teach the distinguishing odors that the body of a person infected with COVID-19 can secrete. First of all, we can talk about discharge from the nasopharynx, the characteristic smell of which the dog could catch without risking its own health.

Military dog ​​handlers of Israel and Britain rely on the fact that service dogs, thanks to their excellent scent, are able to catch the smells characteristic of a number of oncological diseases, as well as malaria.

The results of such experiments have not yet been reported.

Meanwhile, statistics on morbidity in Israel and the United Kingdom suggests that the number of infected cases continues to grow.

Britain is ranked 19th in the world in terms of the number of COVID-8 infections with an indicator of 22141 people. Deaths - 1415. In Israel, a new type of coronavirus infection and the deaths from it are significantly less: 4695 and 16, respectively. However, the population of Israel is much less than the population of the United Kingdom.

To everyone ... a person, like any living being, is capable of doing this with his whole body. Immediately another thing is interesting, the same CorVi19 has different degrees of severity of the disease and will the dog be able to distinguish the smell of a "mild form" from SARS? Or we will "knit" everyone, because in this situation it is better to over ... than under ...
In general, if the experiments are successful, then the prospects are interesting. It will be possible to install laser gas analyzers and scan certain areas of the terrain, identifying "suspicious"

In general, if the experiments turn out to be successful, then the prospects are interesting.

Cancer sick dogs have already been taught to recognize. So, they decided to conduct this experiment from scratch.

This is not the first time that the perfect scent of dogs has been used to recognize a disease: previous studies have shown that bloodhounds can smell diseases such as cancer or malaria.

In Israel, a new type of coronavirus infection and deaths from it are significantly less: 4695 and 16, respectively.

16 have so far died at 4695 sick?
Is it even real without a developed medicine?
In the same USA, with 4564 cases of the sick today, 214 people died (today)

[surf dude]

This is real with strict quarantine.

Quarantine reduces the rate of infection.
And the conversation is not about the speed of spread, but about the effectiveness of treatment.

Quality is quality. But the matter is in numbers. If you (God forbid) would have 4.000 new patients a day, then 18 would not be limited. If there are 100 places in intensive care and 200 are needed, then 100 will die, regardless of quality. How many die out of 100 who have enough space, there already yes, depends on the quality of medicine

[dauria]

If there are 100 places in intensive care and 200 needy, then 100 will die, regardless of quality

Yesterday there was an excellent report about the measures of the Jews. Don't go out, don't ride, don't get ready. Brewed !!! synagogue doors where they wanted to continue praying. The fine is instant - right in the police car they print out the receipt and fifteen hundred dollars (in shekels) be so kind. Orthodox for the meeting under white ruchenki and in jail. And those screaming "Nazis" !!!!.
No, the Jews will be fine.

Actually, in Russia, which has 20 times more inhabitants, officially the same 17 dead as in Israel.

At all enterprises, 15% of people can be hired, at important enterprises 30%. There are no traffic jams, but you cannot call them empty.

Quantity is important when saturation is achieved. I hope we do not get closer to her.

However, the figure of 25 dead for 226 recoveries looks scary for Israel. Approximately this ratio in Iran. China and Germany have achieved 20 convalescences per death. Although perhaps Israel is not lucky with a humid climate. Perhaps the disease is developing rapidly.

[knn54]

The progress will be the definition of pneumonia as such. Moreover, at an early stage, before pulmonary edema. And the coronavirus or other pathogen is secondary. This is up to the doctors.

Of course. Now the dogs are also trained for prescription flies.

Not funny, the smells on the exhale for some diseases are specific and can be determined at a distance, especially by women, their sense of smell is more acute. The simplest example is diabetes patients.

Quote: Balu

That is yes. I used to be amazed at their sense of smell. It’s impossible to cheat

[Crimean partisan 1974]

The simplest example is diabetes patients .... and what is there to determine. smell of ammonia, but interestingly. Do women identify other women when they have criticism once a month? I personally sometimes sometimes feel uncomfortable in public transport, I don’t know ... what these dogs are trained for, there will be even more troubles from these dogs trained on the crown .... a dog trained for drug addiction, a dog trained for explosives is also a lot does not live, I imagine a dog trained on a crown ...... tin

Israeli and British armies decide to train service dogs to identify people infected with coronavirus infection

I don’t know what they will do, but the problem is that today one pandemic is announced, and another tomorrow is possible (with a different virus and symptoms). And the smells in this case, of course, will vary. Recently I read that dogs are trying to train dogs to detect human cancer in the early stages. Truly a dog is a friend of man.

It turns out in Israel, the percentage of deaths is 0,3 percent! Significantly lower than in other countries. And this is without taking into account undetected.

"Okets" - "Okay" and "kapets" in one word.

"Okets" in translation "sting"

[Paul Siebert]

Well, the creativity of British scientists is well known to everyone.
It was they who, for several years, bred black cats that did not portend trouble, crossing the road.
Now it means they took up the dogs. And for the coronavirus ...
Now for England I am absolutely calm ...

[Kerensky]

Well, it makes sense. It just takes time, but it doesn’t. This is not a few hours to study. How to check that the dogs work?

[Zeev Zeev]

Unfortunately, we have 4695 confirmed infections. Some of the patients are quarantined in hotels rented by the Ministry of Defense. So there are no problems with the material for the experiment.

[Pathos]

If the dog has already been trained in drugs and weapons, then not for long, hunting breeds are more suitable, the spaniel was the fiend of hell, he found the parasite wherever he could hide, the refrigerator was airtight but he always knew when the tenderloin was in the refrigerator, not a dog vacuum cleaner. If only there was material.

I recall one funny case, in the mid-90s in the regional department, where I was then serving in the criminal investigation department, the investigation during the investigation of one of the cases proved the fact of deliberate infection with a venereal disease with the initiation of a case and putting a card for disclosure. At the end of the month, the head of the regional department, distributing the personal disclosure of crimes among the services, due to the low rate of personal disclosure in the canine service (service-search dogs), wrote down a card for the above case for the dog handlers. From the statisticians, this information leaked "to the masses", the entire regional department laughed and for another five years teased this fact in the case of the head of the dog handlers with various jokes like ".. Sergei, and you also check your spouse for treason with a dog ... well, for whom Astra ( the name of the dog assigned to the head of the COP) reacted ..? :)))

An interesting idea, just keep in mind that coronaviruses generally infect animals. Only two crossed the interspecific barrier (in my opinion, out of 44 types of coronaviruses)
