Imagine being able to walk into a crowded store, restaurant or even movie theater & be able to detect if there’s COVID-19 in the air. It could be a reality in just a few years as a team at Virginia Tech is developing a portable rapid test for the air. dcnewsnow.com/whats-going-ar…
@MeetJess You’re inside, seated, and half way through your meal, and someone infected walks in, setting it off. Do you bolt?
@MeetJess The only problem is …if you walk in, your infected Hmmmm
@MeetJess I thought by now we'd have something like this, really promising but I'm guessing the FDA will stand in the way of accessing them. Still can't take a 3 in 1 test but everywhere else they can.
@MeetJess Imagine the pushback from businesses on this. Everyone leaves if the air is C-19 ladened in a restaurant? Food wasted, money lost. Better to filter the air, I think.
@MeetJess We need it now. A few years is unacceptable.
@MeetJess I would be thrilled if they could develop one that works like an Aranet4.
@MeetJess @jasmith_yorku Until then or when a sterilizing vaxx 💉becomes available, it is very hard for COVID conscious folks to stay safe. One-way masking isn't optimal.
@MeetJess Years? I'm having a hard time getting through each day at this point. This has been a really rough week.
