Been seeing news stories about dogs "sniffing out" coronavirus... [View all]

There seems to be a lack of skeptical views on this, I've seen how dogs "sniffing out" cancer or other diseases is really spotty.

At best.

Lots of false positives, badly-trained dogs, and dogs "missing" disease.

Just look at the many stories across the US of dogs "sniffing out" drugs in cars and homes, when no drugs are found.
