COVID-19 testing by nasal swab

Times News reporter J.H. Osborne being tested for COVID-19, the novel coronavirus, by nasopharyngeal swab at the free drive-thru testing site at the Sullivan County Regioinal Health Department in Blountville, Tennessee on Monday, April 20, 2020. Testing is open, by appointment, to any Sullivan County resident who wants one. Appointments are avaikable Mondays through Fridays from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. To schedule an appointment call 279-2777. Health officials describe the test as being "uncomfortable," but some who've had it have said it's downright painful. What did Osborne think? "It burns, and it made my eyes water like when you need to sneeze but can't." Test results are expected to be returned to those tested in five to seven days.

    Y’all! Don’t be scared by this it only pains for atleast 5 secs or 8! I took the nose swabbing test while I was traveling with my older brother and I’m only 11 years old I promise it only burns a lil bit it feels like some water went inside your nose and burns for atleast a few secs don’t be scared

    Depends on the nurse doing it. My nurse jabbed it way up there. It felt like I was being stabbed. Then when she twirled it, it felt like sand paper. I had to grab my steering wheel because my reflex was to push her away. But it all worked out, no bloody nose. It's just one of those things you have to go through when seeing the doc.

    She done it properly then. The proper swab test for COVID-19 is insert the swab straight until touching the throat roof. It was horrible but effective if done it right.

    It's called nasopharyngeal sample for a reason. She is doing it wrong . It should be horizontal to nasal floor only then it will be easy to reach upto to nasopharynx .she was directing it towards the turbinates . Result may have came negative even if the person was positive.

    This is not the real COVID-19 swab test i must say. I have done my swab test yesterday at singapore and the swab was insert deep into my nostril and touching the throat roof. have to twist it like few second before taking it out, and my nostril like burning for few minutes. It was a remarkable experience.

    I had it done today, no pain maybe like a burn/scratching feeling. Its more of an uncomfortable feeling than anything else. but the nurse that did it was bloody good, just feels really weird. From the moment I sat down to when I got back up it was all over in a minute. They only had the stick up in my nose for about a 10 seconds or less. I find out the results in about 2 to 3 days. Only got it done because I have really bad tonsillitis at the moment and need antibiotics. Cant get them till this is done and the results come back. It's a requirement for any nassal/ upper respiratory infection complaint. At least in my country at the moment

Viruses are a mechanism that breakdown toxins in the body..Viruses are a healthy sign that the immune system is working.
