My Grkids were complaining or talking about their swabs. Two GrSIL had the throat swab each time. Then the GrD chimed in. They had the nasal swab. Both said next time they are checking to see which is being done. Their facial expressions were hilarious. Yuk mainly. Our testing is done regularly in town. From what I have seen there are no waiting lines.

I've had both the nasal and the throat swab. I prefer the nasal.

A clinic just opened here where they test your spit. If I need a test, that's how I plan to do it.

I had a nasal swab this morning and I almost sneezed in the poor girl's face.
Definitely tickled..
If I don't hear anything by Thursday evening I show up at hospital Friday morning for procedure

That was how my throat swab went. I was told I would not be called unless it was positive.
When I received an online survey about the procedure, I said that was the one thing I did not like. I wanted to know either way when they had the results.
Much of the survey was about how safe I felt about the covid precautions being taking at the surgery center.

I have had many nasal swabs because of work. How it feels is highly dependent on who does it and how far they put it up your nose.

Some nurses did it so it felt like feather dusting my nasal passage, others felt like swabbing 360 with the purpose of not missing any possible sample in that part of my nasal passage. |

A clinic just opened here where they test your spit. If I need a test, that's how I plan to do it. I heard that they have you spit on a picture of your choice of presidential candidate so that they get a good sample. |
