Current Events > Why do they gotta dig into your brain when they do covid testing?

(+) Yeah! (+)

That shit look like it hurts from all the reactions I've seen of people getting the virus test. Even if they're not digging through your brain, they're digging at your nose. That shit is like using a dildo and pushing hard against a vagina until it bleeds.

Ive been testing twice, it hurts my teeth. It isnt pleasant.

It doesn't hurt me, I've had a flu test that's the same. Depends on your sensitivity I guess.

---

It all depends on the person doing the test. The first time I got tested, he stuck it in and twisted. Second time, she scraped the swab back and forth along the back of my sinus cavity.

It doesn't hurt, just very unpleasant.

If they do it right it's no worse than the feeling of water going up your nose

They dont. Its an out-of-date test already. But the US uses it.

Interviewer: You helped fund a Covid diagnostic testing program in Seattle that got quicker results, and it wasnt so intrusive. The FDA put it on pause. What happened?

Bill Gates: Theres this thing where the health worker jams the deep turbinate, in the back of your nose, which actually hurts and makes you sneeze on the healthy worker. We showed that the quality of the results can be equivalent if you just put a self-test in the tip of your nose with a cotton swab. The FDA made us jump through some hoops to prove that you didnt need to refrigerate the result, that it could go back in a dry plastic bag, and so on. So the delay there was just normal double checking, maybe overly careful but not based on some political angle. Because of what we have done at FDA, you can buy these cheaper swabs that are available by the billions. So anybody whos using the deep turbinate now is just out of date. Its a mistake, because it slows things down.

Thankfully I got to swab myself when I was tested in May, it doesn't look pleasant at all the way they do it
