“You put it underneath your skin and what that tells you is that there are chemical reactions going on inside the body, and that signal means you are going to have symptoms tomorrow,” explained Col Hepburn.

“We challenge the research community to come up with solutions that may sound like science fiction,” said Hepburn, whose role at DARPA, he added, is to “take pandemics off the table.”

Hepburn compared their diagnostic device to a car’s “Check engine” alert.

Despite conspiracy theories that claim Microsoft’s Bill Gates is using vaccines as a vehicle to insert a microscopic global positioning system into our bodies, “60 Minutes” clarified that DARPA’s device would not “track your every move.” Nor is it being administered via shots, as some would-be Twitter sleuths have pondered.
“It’s a sensor,” Hepburn told CBS correspondent Bill Whitaker. “That tiny green thing in there, you put it underneath your skin and what that tells you is that there are chemical reactions going on inside the body and that signal means you are going to have symptoms tomorrow.”

The microsensor, embedded in a tissue-like gel, is designed to continuously test the implant recipient’s blood for presence of the virus. Once an infection is detected, the sensor alerts the patient to conduct a rapid blood test, which can be self-administered, to confirm the positive result.

“Sailors would get the signal, then self-administer a blood draw and test themselves on site.

“We can have that information in three to five minutes. As you truncate that time, as you diagnose and treat, what you do is you stop the infection in its tracks.”

Col Hepburn also told the show that his team had invented a filter that if placed on a dialysis machine would remove the virus from blood.

He said that the four-day treatment had been given to “Patient 16”, the spouse of a military member, who was in organ failure and septic shock.

“You pass it through, and it takes the virus out, and puts the blood back in,” said Col Hepburn.

And he said that within days of the treatment the patient had made a full recovery.

Nigerian military personnel are busy shouting "Bloody Civilians"(a dagoratory word British Military personnel called Irish) up and down, while fleeing for their lives when they come face to face with ISWAP wailing about how they are not well armed against a rag tag terrorists group.
