ОФИГЕТЬ, честно говоря. Как говорится, Малькольм Гладуэлл, NASCAR и Metallica, угадайте, что их объединяет:

NASCAR was among Bio-Detection K9’s first clients, but the dogs came to Q Prime’s attention when Peets heard writer Malcolm Gladwell talking about them on a podcast. For Peets, the dogs are “cheaper than testing everybody, and way faster and friendlier.” Bio-Detection K9 claims the average cost of a dog test is $2 a person. According to Johnson, dog tests are typically limited to 200 people per hour and are conducted at venues several times a day, from early morning through soundcheck, and include family members and other backstage guests.

But even here, the rise of the Omicron variant has forced both the acts and the animals to adapt. On Church’s tour, the dogs will now be sniffing people’s masks (not hands or feet) to detect that variant. “The new variation is different,” Johnson says. “It localizes in the bronchial passageways. So the dogs weren’t nearly as accurate the way we had been searching. We had to change it up.” https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/covid-sniffing-dogs-concert-tours-1280953/
