    Yeah. I figure that sooner or later, as a health care worker, I’m going to have to be tested for #COVID19, and I am most definitely not looking forward to it.😬https://twitter.com/DrPeckPNP/status/1244062665535864832 …

    This is how far back we have to put the swab to test you for #COVID19. You might want to follow medical recommendations and #StayHome. pic.twitter.com/gCMqUdpsEk

        This looks promising: "The self-administered test allows the patient to just swab the front of their nostril and mid-nose."https://www.medicaleconomics.com/news/coronavirus-new-study-clears-way-self-administered-testing …

        Yeah.....I strongly suspect sensitivity is going to be poor with that sampling technique.

        I got tested on Thursday. Honestly, it wasn’t that bad. Just a weird feeling. Kind of uncomfortable but not painful. Tbh, I find the flu test to be demonstrably worse. COVID year *feels* less invasive.

        I’ve been reliably informed it really ain’t nice! I’ve taken these from patients, but never needed one myself. Yet. Though, as a nurse, it’s inevitable I will at some stage of this pandemic 😳😩

        I mean, I don’t even mind the flu swab, and I imagine this is similar, just further back. I know I’ll need it eventually, regardless
