The Science of a Cough

 It was reported via SWR (public TV) today....that the MIT science guys have been hard at work.

They went out and collected 70k cough recordings (don't ask how).  Eventually, with science and computers analyzing things.....to the 100-percent level....they can identify the Covid-sick guy against the regular cold-cough guy.

What this goes to?  Well....a lot of folks don't have the serious symptoms with Covid-19.  Call it a symptoms-lite situation.

But with this application, you could walk into a pharmacy or local clinic....cough into a mic, and seconds later....be told to take the full-up test for Covid-19.  You could probably even put this into the entry of schools or industry, and start to control who enters.
