Thanks. I’ve been trying to warn/tell folks about these danged swabs.

I feel like printing this out and handing out at the drive thru testing lines. Ha!

Starting 6 months ago, I have to perform a rapid test twice a week. My company purchased a box of 50 test packets and I reorder as needed. However, it was stories like this that caused me to throw away the swabs that came with the box and I ordered by my own swabs. Advise others to do likewise.

I thought the inventor of these PCR tests, Kary Mullis....may he RIP, specifically said that these tests were NOT even accurate for testing for china virus.

Unreal that any employer is even requiring their employees to participate in this farce.

:-(

Glad you found some optional ones. Are the Made in USA, at least?

I concur. I don't know where the test kits my employer has sent me are made, but I started using ordinary, old-fashioned Q-Tips instead of their potentially poisonous swabs. Seems to work just fine.
