No cause I don’t need one. I’ve never heard of such a test for anyone who has had the flu or a cold, why are they shoving a swab up people’s sinuses now?
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@Khenpal1 What was all that shoving swabs up the nose business all about then?
Khenpal1 · M
@cherokeepatti results came within minutes. The other tests min 2h, but in many cases a day and its valid in airports
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@Khenpal1 Just like a strep test then. Will the medical establishment ever come out and say it was not necessary to poke people in the sinuses with a long swab and those tests were very unreliable? It was just another way for China to make money off of this because that’s where most of those test kits (and masks) were manufactured.
my husband farts at least twice a day. figure as long as I can smell it I'm safe
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@saragoodtimes that hurts!
@samueltyler2 wasn't aimed at you
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@saragoodtimes wow, another choice of words, or should I say a play on words? the wind came my way!
AbbeyRhode · F
I had to before I could visit my Mom in physical rehab, but I will never be bullied into getting the clot shot.
Nimbus · M
@AbbeyRhode Awwwww,
I’m not sick. I don’t suffer from Münchausen syndrome

@ExtremeNext I suddenly feel sorry for people who conduct those tests. 😱
ExtremeNext · 31-35
@SW-User I know what about the real long boogers that just go on for ever and ever

When we got back from my nephew’s wedding in Iowa, we waited a few days and took a COVID test before visiting my 90 year old mother-in-law at the assisted living facility. Nobody required it of us, but we wanted to be safe as her immune system is weakened by Multiple Myeloma and other factors (we didn’t want to put her at further risk).
4meAndyou · F
Yes. During covid I was required to have a test before I could go inside the hospital and have an x-ray. Simple and easy. Quick and painless.
4meAndyou · F
@Nimbus Well, it's not a special treat...so don't feel left out...🤣🤣🤣. But it IS painless. Quick swab, non-invasive, and you're done.
Thinkerbell · 41-45, F
@4meAndyou

I've had the test several times.
How painless it is depends on how far up your nostrils the nurse sticks the swab.

I thought one of them went up into my sinus cavities. Not excruciating, but definitely not fun. 😖
4meAndyou · F
@Thinkerbell Well...sadists do abound among the medical profession...sad to say.
Khenpal1 · M
Many times. Even if you are vaccinated , its still required many places.
Nimbus · M
@Khenpal1 👍
Khenpal1 · M
@Nimbus My brother got told by the doctor to get test or not getting appointment. He was pissed , but than again look at it from other site.
SW-User
No. Because I’ve had no reason to get tested. I haven’t gotten sick since social distancing began.
RubySoo · 56-60, F
I work in a school so im requested to do them twice a week.
MissTaken · 36-40, F
Nope just the 2 vaccine jabs 🙂
Nimbus · M
@MissTaken That's plenty ;)
MissTaken · 36-40, F
@Nimbus Yep
COVID 19 DOESN'T EXIST. WHY WOULD I?
Nimbus · M
@Nimbus It has never been isolated. where is it? haha
Kowabunga · 51-55, M
As much as I’m dubious about a lot of the figures etc, it or something does certainly exist as I know a few people who have had it, and it certainly isn’t a common cold @SexyLesGirl13
Nimbus · M
@Keeper 😮

Why hundreds?
Jenny1234 · 51-55, F
@Keeper why so many?
FreestyleArt · 31-35, M
I did once last year. A friend of mine waiting in line to get his test.

It took 30 minutes for him decide to leave even though he sign the papers.

Then the next day he got a phone call claims he Had Covid and he didn't get tested for it
Miklee02 · 51-55, F
I have twice now
OldBrit · 61-69, M
I do them twice a week currently.

Because if I might have Covid-19 but be asymptomatic which is a known characteristic of the virus. Given I regularly attend meetings in my local area and see my friends and family I wouldn't want to be spreading the virus around. So I test to then isolate if I'm positive.
OldBrit · 61-69, M
@samueltyler2 that's the government advice. And I'm regularly mixing so makes sense.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@OldBrit for everyone? Wow, that is aggressive
OldBrit · 61-69, M
@samueltyler2 Hardly anyone is bothering which probably explains our 40,000 cases a day rising at 10% a week
PTCdresser57 · 61-69, M
Once before being vaccinated because I was out in the public and care for my elderly inlaws with poor health.
Myzery · 41-45, F
No, because I haven't had a reason to since they were made.
Lilymoon · F
No and I'm vaccinated now.
Nimbus · M
@Lilymoon 👍

Nimbus · M
@SW-User 😯
Jenny1234 · 51-55, F
@SW-User why so often?
SW-User
@Jenny1234 I work in a foster home (healthcare)
xSharp · 31-35, M
Yes had a test, the test was the guy with the locker next to mine kept coming to work after testing positive and nobody got sick, not even myself after being well within a 2 meter radius of him every day for the entire 14 days that he should have quarantined lol
No....never going to either.
Nimbus · M
@TheSirfurryanimalWales Me neither.


I feel left out.
DeluxedEdition · 26-30, F
I get tested every day before I go into work. Hundreds

Per whatever the private facilities specific guidelines cause for

Some facilities it’s not as frequent
Nimbus · M
Jenny1234 · 51-55, F
@DeluxedEdition your head must feel like it’s going to explode getting tested every day
DeluxedEdition · 26-30, F
@Jenny1234 when I got tested the first time it was the nasopharyngeal but after that they stopped doing those. They’re too invasive and broke a lot of peoples mucous membranes

They switched to a swab i just take it and swirl it around my nose a little and place the solution on it and it will read negative or positive in about 10 minutes. Sometimes I do the blood prick test. It’s like getting pricked for diabetes. It’s not so bad. If it were the long one I would definitely be complaining 🤣🤣🤣

It’s just annoying because it delays the shifts and report.
Every shift is about 10 minutes late because of it. And it’s just annoying because it’s a process more less but it isn’t painful (thankfully lol)
losthorizons · 51-55, M
No fucking way
Thevy29 · 41-45, M
Fairydust · F
Two this week, I’m in isolation until Sunday. Both negative but I’ve been around someone that’s had it. Fingers crossed I don’t get it.
Nimbus · M
@Fairydust Good luck.
Fairydust · F
@Nimbus I don’t think I will. Thank you 😊
Jenny1234 · 51-55, F
I had one last December because someone at my office got COVID. Everyone tested tested negative
Nimbus · M
@Jenny1234 👍
smiler2012 · 56-60
{@nimbus] yes four times nimby . last time i ended up with as nose bleed
Nimbus · M
@smiler2012 How did that happen?
JimboSaturn · 51-55, M
If the tester looked like that, I would be inclined to get a test more readily.
Nimbus · M
helenS · 36-40, F
Yes many times before I was vaccinated. Always negative.
Nimbus · M
@helenS 👍
MarineBob · 56-60, M
To many to count

Nimbus · M
Tres13 · 51-55, M

comfi1 · 61-69, M
I haven’t needed one.
Nimbus · M
@comfi1 👍
Nimbus · M
@mondayschild2 At a guess, how many?
@Nimbus Rough guess 20 or 30. I work in a rehab center and the administration has been vigilant along with the governor about. We have not had one sick patient with Covid 👍
SW-User
