Interesting new Covid test

The Research
Recent work by two British ENT surgeons Claire Hopkins and Nirmal Kumar observes that people with sudden isolated anosmia (lost sense of smell) seem to have a high probability of being infected by the Virus despite no other symptoms.

The Experiment
The #CovidSmellTest campaign will ask participants to self administer a simple smell test by sniffing common household objects. The aggregated data from tens of thousands of these tests could provide a marker for emerging COVID-19 disease clusters.

And an interesting article about it

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
