Swabbing? Nasal samples?
Wouldn’t saliva tests be more accurate, offer up fewer false positives...?
Regarding your post: I happened to come across this for what it’s worth. https://stateofthenation.co/?p=57770 I think I remember reading some university swabbing kids every week or every two weeks?
Swabbing? Nasal samples?
Wouldn’t saliva tests be more accurate, offer up fewer false positives...?
Earlier this month my wife had a couple of steroid injections into her lower spinal cord to control her pain.
Before the procedure, she had to have a nasal swab to see if she was Covid + in spite of having the 2 Pfizer shots in Jan/Feb.
This was at the big PPO on the west coast on a Saturday morning:
We drove through and our vehicle was number 110 in about an hour. There were two vehicle lines to get into 4 lines where the Nasal Swabs were done.
My wife as requested was on the passenger side and had her photo id ready. After about a 60 second interview, the RN doing the swabbing, swabbed my wife’s nostril for a sample.
In the meantime a PPO employee, whom we know, asked me if I wanted a swab.
I told him no because, I was not being screened for an upcoming event. Also, only the blood sample tests really worked.
He laughed and wished me a good day.
When we drove away, there were at least 100 vehicles behind us.
By the time we got home, had lunched and logged on the PPO web site, my wife’s result showed no active Covid. Nor did it show that she had been vaccinated earlier this year.
