Coronavirus (Covid-19) Discussion

why do people say that the PCR tests were bad? I had no issues whatsoever. Did both the throat and nose swabs, even enjoyed the nose ones quite a bit..

@louisbosco:

At the risk of generalising and being harsh, I think it is because a lot of people seem to have a low tolerance for discomfort and confuse it with pain.

I’ve noticed a word of mouth effect too where people tell other people it was bad, and then they go expecting the worst. Makes them tense and negatively disposed to the experience.

I’ve been tested a number of times now, and neither tests are painful. I experienced a brief discomfort and the nasal one, while weird, is as you say almost fun. Either way it is over super quick and unproblematic.

^^ this. this test I took upon arrival in Singapore was my first and only test I've ever done. Before this, I've only heard about it from mates and stuff who've taken it back in Australia or videos from the internet which made it seem worse than what it is. But I still went in with an open mind and with excitement to take a video of me doing it haha.

I have done 11 tests now. 10/11 were completely pain/discomfort free. 1/11 was fucking awful and I nearly punched the cunt doing it. Think it depends who is administering it and their level of desire to reach your brain through your nostrils.

All of the tests I had recently let me do the swab myself. The one I had in Puerto Rico she went way up in there and it made me sneeze like crazy.

Hang in there, twins. FWIW, shut down, keep hydrated, and get lots of rest. It worked for me, and my mom…

Twins, I’m very sorry to hear this. My brother is recovering from this virus now. He was quite sick for a while but it turned out fine. You two are strong and healthy, and I am sure it will go great with you both. How is your pops doing?

[goosehd]

@twin Hope your dad, your brother, and you recover quickly.

[twin]

We hope so also. Want to get back to normal. @goosehd

I'm sure pops will come through. You guys seem like you're made of strong stuff. You twins take it easy, eat, drink and sleep. If you can get some vitamin D in you. Get well soon.

[Omega Man]

Hang in there, twin!  Hopeful for a smooth sailing for everyone.

[Giles]

Best of luck Richard and Bobby.  Stay strong, our thoughts are with you…

[Madame Buttonfly]

Dearest @twin - I'm so sad and sorry to hear your news, what a terrible worry, sending love to you and Bobby and of course your dear Pop.

[Jett129]
