OneMoreFarang Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Yesterday a nurse in a hospital tested me for Covid. She put that little stick up my nose as if she was trying to reach my brain? It hurt. Is that really necessary to have a valid test? Would it be good enough to put that stick just a little bit up the nose? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVENKEEL Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Did they have you in a little plastic box, those nurses are sadistic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaching your brain being an impossible task, I am sure using other bodily orifices could be arranged at an extra cost ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out the world thought ritual humiliation by the Celestial Empire was one indignity too much. Especially from the country that spawned the virus, helped spread it, and takes no responsibility for either of those facts. Still you could probably pick one up on the internet.

NotEinstein Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 This always seemed nefarious to me, after all, if it is supposedly spread by breathing, surely just a breath sample or mouth swab would suffice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoreFarang Posted June 16, 2023 Author Share Posted June 16, 2023 Just now, fondue zoo said: yes, yes they do. I remember watching that scene in Total Recall a long time ago. Just watching it felt terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 It's inconvenient but necessary for a proper test. Just a little bit is not enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were readily available in the US. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
