Poke in the nose - done!

The swab test was drive thru test. It was a long line, just like in the picture. I think the workers got tired. They probably wanted to end the test faster. That's probably why the test was hurt a bit. I did multiple swab test since this pandemic and today was the worst! I can still feel the brush... Anyway, it's done. Another test is in another two weeks. Wonder how the next test will be conducted.

Aww that stinks this one hurt. When I was in labor I had one done and it hurt a lot and left a bloody scab in my nose. The other ones I had done never hurt that bad so I think the girl wasn’t very careful who did it when I was in labor.

@prinzcy I hope I never have to get one done again. Did you find out your results?

Some are just rough. They just shove it without care.

@shaggin no, not yet. But usually they would only inform us is the result is positive.

@prinzcy that doesn't sound too comforting.

I guess the result is negative as they didn't even say anything. They would only notify me if the result was positive.

We would call that an "English" vehicle or a "British" vehicle here.

So sorry! I only had one and was told they only had to go halfway up the nose now. It just tickled.

My other poke in the nose tests weren't that bad as this one. The worker was too rough. He just want to get the job done. Other thing didn't matter.

I guess this means you'll be regularly poked until the pandemic ends. Is this for both vaccinated and unvaccinated? Is the test and result free?

Yes and they're free. The company would bear the cost. Of course the result is free too.

Are so many tests really required? I have not done even a single.

It's requirement set by the government. We need to do it to ensure company can open for business.

I've never done a swab test. Does it really hurt?

The pain was brief. My previous swab test wasn't painful at all.
