        Instead of unpleasant nasal swab tests, Peter van Wees asks participants to step into an airlocked cabin and to scream, or sing. An industrial air purifier collects all the particles emitted, which are then analyzed for the virus 2/4pic.twitter.com/GaDsvosBag

        Van Wees says that although lots of small particles from the person’s clothes and breath are detected, an infection shows up as a cluster. He is working with a private company to marshal evidence for his strategy https://reut.rs/3sJZsjq  4/4

        I just don't get how no matter what kinda filter you have there won't be cross contamination if more then one person uses it per 72 hours. This is the classic "overthinking it" moment

        I doubt it’s more effective in determining covid infections, but I believe it’s more effective emotionally for everyone rn
