    One common symptom of infection is loss of smell: so a good fart at the breakfast table tests the whole family in one fell swoop - and no waiting for the result!

      So ... no smell means the farter is infected?

              I must agree with you on that point. After all - OP refers to a "good fart" - and so far as I know, there's no such thing as a good fart. I suggest you ask around to check me on this point - which adds additional meaning to keeping a safe social distance.

                Kill two birds with one stone: If you get no reaction at all, your family might also have gone deaf.

                  That all depends on perspective, the farter generally enjoys it whereas the fartee tends to want to leave the room.

                    I think I see our communications problem on this. There's fart as a verb and fart as an noun. I refer only to the known - which affects all involved. You're thinking of the verb form. By way of an example. Someone comes into your office and with an angelic look on their face exclaims how they just took a really good shit. They are not really describing the object, now swimming towards the sea, as 'good' in any real sense, but the act of evacuation and consequential relief that was 'good'. However - this is an understandable error.
