It is really irrisponsible to keep complaining how unpleasant the test was. We want people

to be tested, not to be afraid of it. Of course if they point that out to Trump he'll go on about how we don't want everyone in the country to be tested.

I think I watched one of those drive thru tests, I really didn't pay that much attention. It's just the nose swab right? Sure you'd rather be doing something else but c'mon! Enough about that.

IIRC it is a very *long* swab, and another for the throat. nt Hekate Mar 2020 #6
Nose swabbing IS uncomfortable. Skipping it and infecting others IS unconscionable. marble falls Mar 2020 #7

So - hence - he discredits the current test.

there's anesthesia involved. With my last one, I didn't feel a thing, the prep was the worst part.

I had indeed read that the test involved sticking something WAY up the nose. Maybe it will make people think twice about leaving their homes for something not 100% necessary.

What the hell is wrong with people. I had to have a flu swab a month or so ago and yes, my eyes watered and I wanted to stop it because it is uncomfortable. If it can save your life or at least give you a fighting chance what is the big deal?
