@GreatMartin Good question and this is what I always say to my husband... what if we get contaminated the day after we are tested? Those tests are a waste of time and money.

@GreatMartin it sounds like someone accidentally blocked the other as that's happened to me before too.

I have talked to a few people that say it was very uncomfortable and even hurt. Are they lying?

@GreatMartin Some might be more sensitive and some nurses might not be so gentle.

I guess it depends who does and how far up the nose they go! This was like a second and even if it did hurt it was over before it hurt!

Great!! I'm glad that's so, really! If you (God forbid need this information) for you or someone you close to you know, do not you agree that they put you on a respirator, only to pure oxygen! It is very important to know, NO respirator, it kills ... only PURE OXYGEN! I wish you all the best and stay healthy!

It does not tell if you got it already. Do your blood analysis before eating your cake. Joking, it is reassuring, especially in Florida. Stay safe.
