So Sly news reporting on the Covid sniffer dogs that could be used to detect if you are infected.

I wonder if he has any evidence to suggest such a thing or is it wishful thinking?

Schools in Worcestershire are opening the week of the 1st June. Smaller classes for reception and years 1 and 6 and part time. Bubbles for children in each class (4-8 per bubble depending on school size). I child sick or parent sick and the whole bubble isolates for 2 weeks. Teachers with underlying health conditions doing non front line duties.
It all seems rather sensible to me.

He said people should be back to work and schools.open on May 4th in April much to the bafflement of his peers.

He is big into alternative medicine and is an expert on cancer not viruses so I would say it is wishfull thinking based on his own personal opinion.

He also calls the NHS the last bastion of communism.

Yeah, it’s shit that. Was talking to a girl on the Tesco check-out today who is hoping to go to university in September but has no idea if they’re even taking on students, or what her grades will be. Equally shit for GCSE students, and also year 6’s. They’ve all missed out on a hugely important part of their development and education.

My granddaughter has had her final year at Uni abandoned without her prepared for final exams leaving her still paying for accommodation and frustrated at not being able to get the job she has studied for (legal degree).

There is some anecdotal evidence of this in Stockholm. They do random testing for antibodies. They estimated 25% at one point but also said they saw signs of herd immunity in the number of cases being reported at the same time. Those two things don't agree, so there is something going on which isn't fully understood.

I think we still need to get a vaccine. Even if the infection level drops it's not going to disappear on it's own.

The report you mention is from Christian Drosten's team of scientists at the Institute of Virology at the Charité Hospital in Berlin, . It has yet to be be peer reviewed. If you can find a copy and post a link it would be most appreciated.

I think this is the paper
