Re: [DIYbio] DIY COVID-19 PCR test

Smartwatch app to periodically measure body temperature and sync to
the cloud with location data for crowdsourcing potential outbreaks
would be more relevant I would assume. WHO should already have
developed such an app but they're obviously behind the times. The
drawback being that smartwatch temperature sensors have improper reads
sometimes.

Developing a test kit for swabbing potentially contaminated surfaces
is not much safer than swabbing potential patients themselves.

Benefits of a face mask are nebulous. They certainly don't protect
against a virus and maybe only marginally protect others when an
infected person wears one.

More useful could be a (pressure) directed ozone generator to
sterilize public surfaces, portable size, with a rechargeable battery
pack.
