Good news / bad news

Good news! 🐕 Dogs can be trained to sniff out many diseases, as shown years ago but hey now it's in the news again! https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/dogs-in-uk-are-first-to-be-trained-to-sniff-out-bowel-cancer-after-nailing-parkinsons-and-covid/

Bad news! Now that it's been proven to be very cheap and highly effective, it will be ignored as a useful tech, as happened with the last diseases dogs were trained to detect.

(COVID-sniffing dogs at workplaces, schools and border crossings! They could be the fluffiest of swiss cheese layers!! 🐶 )
