Iran's Guards unveil 'magnetic' virus detection tool

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-52289273

You can't make this shit up..    :-DD :-DD :-DD

In case it disappears when someone wakes up...

Quote
The commander of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps has unveiled a handheld device that he said could identify people infected with the coronavirus within 100m (330ft), Tasnim news agency reports.

"The basis of this device is to create a magnetic field based on a bipolar virus inside the device, so its antenna can focus on any place within a 100m diameter that is infected by the virus, and identify the infected place in five seconds," Maj-Gen Hossein Salami was quoted as saying.

He added that its accuracy was "80%”, but provided no evidence.

Experts say the only reliable way to test for Covid-19 currently is by taking a swab of the nose or throat, which is sent off to a lab to look for signs of the virus’s genetic material.

Sounds and look familiar:

Some people will believe anything! Be careful, you might get flamed for suggesting this is nonsense. A significant minority of people on this forum believe waving two metal rods around can locate water, better than chance! The last thread on this turned into a shitstorm, because some people wouldn't listen to reason. :palm:

If Iran has one, the USA can't be out done surely.  Maybe someone should propose such a magical magnetic device to Trump and he might promote it at the next press conference.

Oh no, don't bring up the 5G! We had real nutters pop up the same time as the dowsing crap (not naming names)!

We must keep the sanity of this forum >-1...lest they return.

It's missing a blockchain, I think it could bring up the accuracy to 95%

I'm sure this will be removed, but I don't care....
I can not think of even ONE reason why certain 'extremists' would desire to 'Help'
the rest of the 'Civilized' World, as their SOLE purpose is DESTRUCTION!!

80% reliability at 100 m distance may work with an IR camera if one is optimistic, but hat would not so spectacular -  though interesting where the Iran gets some.

Maybe I should try selling that bullshit.
From my experience, getting rich from stupid people is usually much easier than hard work  ;D ;D ;D

Trump will buy it, it'll be great he'll say, he's the best king president, total genius for figuring it out he'll say.  Promising, miracle, fake news, china's fault.  His new clothes are fine though.

Well, everyone seemed to be trying to get the thread closed :)  :-DD

Yes of course. Given the exemplary competence with which the situation is handled in those countries, that feat can be done by an empty box with a LED on it. Simple...everyone will be infected.

I would like to say, "it doesn't look like a small plastic case (similar to IR temperature meters), a simple radio aerial strapped to it. With a simple metal shield strapped on the other hand".
But, I can't/won't.

I wanted to link in the BBC one directly into the thread (as you described), but couldn't find a way of doing it. But, finally (somewhat recently), it has appeared on youtube.

There was/is another, longer one (different), set in a hospital. But, I haven't been able to find it (again, seen it a couple of days ago).

I can't find it (2nd video) on youtube (yet).

But, searching my history, it is here (the other, good video).

If somebody's really lucky, they'll make it to court (like the fake bomb detector guy), but after such a public unveiling, I wouldn't lay odds on it!

A bipolar virus? This outperforms the field-effect bisexual virus used in the KickStarter version. Seriously, they could have upgraded the LED to a neo-pixel ring, so at least it looks like it's scanning/scamming. Maybe the telescopic aerial is for inserting up the nose?
