It's a bit humorous, but the NY Post reports this....Erica Abi Wright...professionally known as Erykah Badu in the Hip-Hop world....felt she had symptoms of Covid-19.
She went for a test (well....two tests). One is done on the left nostril, and one on the right nostril.
Negative on the right nostril. Positive on the left nostril.
What does this mean? You could line up 100 people who think they have symptoms, and just do one single nostril on the test, and it comes back negative. So the doctor just says you have a light case of the flu (which later turns out to be a fairly bad case of the flu), and you get over this in two weeks. Yes, you actually had real Covid....because the test only concluded with one nostril which didn't have the virus.
Rocket-science stuff? No.
So the testing is not really like you'd desire? More or less. But some idiot PhD guy will eventually figure out that via your anus....you can swab that and get a good 'reading'. A bunch of the test folks will step back and kinda refuse to participate once this is the guaranteed way to get a positive-negative reading.
