Part out...

 

Server went down at work over an hour ago, was told it'd be up in 20 min and now it's T minus 45 until I head out...

 

I mean, what would you actually be able to do in 45 minutes

 

Nothing that I need to get done since the server is down. But with my luck I'll head out and someone will walk in needing a last minute project

 

Brothers Avalon.

 

Well that’s annoying

 

Too bad it isn't the anal swab amirite

 

I’d drop out

 

That’s a lie, the swab is very painful.

 

Says they are only doing the first inch of the nostril so it's not the brain tickling nasal swab that most people get

That being said I wonder how accurate the results will be

Then again, if you can test positive via your butthole then who am I to question their short swab nasal test

 

The REAL swap is painful. He'd be getting the short swab

 

Dat PCR gets back in the nasopharyngeal cavity

 

Only been swabbed once for work from co-workers getting it and that shit made me tear up like hell

 

It’s just the short swab.

I haven’t been tested yet and I don’t plan on being tested unless I’m symptomatic or exposured, they can suck it or give me the option to take my 1 class online.

 

I got the short swab back in november. Came back negative even though I had mild loss of taste for a couple days and sinus pressure. Not to mention someone I live with had the exact same symptoms albeit for a longer time and tested positive.

 

Rapid swabs are 75% accurate

 

yeah I've heard all kinds of reports about the unreliability of the tests. The oral swabs we took back in December are apparently not even an option anymore due to false negatives being reported

 

My friends got tested at the same time while they were in the same vehicle. They work together, ride around to check on wells together, same area in the office, got exposed by the same person.
1 test positive the other one didn’t, this was with the balls deep nasal penetration swab

 

Pcr swabs are 85% accurate. Neither are amazing. 5-10% of people who get covid overall will never test positive unless they swab the inside of their lungs via bronchoscopy
