Rings that can tell you if you’re infected, artificial intelligence that can predict the next outbreak: does coronavirus detection tech actually work?…

This week L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti made a very big deal about new thermal imaging cameras installed at LAX that will detect if travelers are running fevers, a big indication that a person might be infected with COVID-19. You'll probably be seeing those cameras showing up in many more places beyond just the airport.

The cameras are just the start: how about wearing a $300 ring that is supposed to warn you several days in advance of getting sick that you're likely infected with COVID........the NBA is offering these rings to all of its players returning to finish their season. There's also artificial intelligence algorithms that will predict where the next COVID outbreak will happen.
