It seems this test would be extremely sensitive to air currents in the room, like an air vent anywhere near the person.

Tell people not to test in an obvious draft? It would only be indicative on a population scale anyway, surely. Seems worth trying; an experiment that some of the millions of school kids at home could easily do once a week over the next 6 weeks or so.

So, we need a data collection website?
