More than a million Beijing residents undergoing coronavirus testing amid a fresh outbreak have been administered anal swabs, which are considered more accurate and raise the chances of detecting COVID-19, said a Chinese disease specialist.
The key districts of Daxing and Dongcheng began a mass testing drive on Friday after a nine-year-old boy tested positive for the more virulent strain of the virus, first discovered in London and the southeast of England last month.
Health authorities in the Chinese capital said they were aiming to screen more than two million people in 48 hours. Among them, around 1.6 million inhabitants in Daxing were to be given antibody tests, as well as throat, nasal and rectal nucleic acid swabs.
Anal swabs have been in use since last year, including in the major port city of Shanghai, but the method is so far reserved for individuals in potential COVID-19 hotspots, according to an infectious disease expert quoted by China's state broadcaster CCTV on Saturday.

Pete Buttigieg has already asked Joe Biden if he can withdraw his nomination for transportation secretary. He wants to use his skills to Head up the Anal testing division of the Department of health and human services. He says he could really lick the problem, further he stated that this work could get him standing at attention and that he’d like to wrap his head around the possibilities. He say he’s willing to dive in head first at a moments notice. He says he wont come up for air until he gets to the bottom and devours the root of the problem. Joe says together they can sniff out the problem.
Right there with you. Prostrate exams are unpleasant. At least a colonoscopy is done under general anesthesia.
And yea, I don’t even want to know about visits to the OBG
The taste
Their medical budget must be in arrears.
If Peter has already Withdrawn his nomination (is that what it’s called now?), as Secy of Transportation, is he, like his name, looking for a new “Butt Gieg”?
By the way, did Rep. Swallowswell buy his old boss Adam Schiff one of those butt plugs? If so, that would explain why Adam’s head is so big and his eyes are bulging out, i.e., he’s full of crap.
I also wonder if Swallowswell used a butt plug when he “Bang Banged” ‘Fang Fang’.
Would someone please answer my questions directly without any “ifs”, “ands” or butts”?
OMG, this is a CLASSIC Free Republic thread. I can’t stop laughing!

Paging Mike Rowe, the Dirty Jobs guy.
Will this be available as a drive through service?
Do they use a flash light?
Are the swabs reuseable?
Brings new meaning to the phrase: “Spread em.”
I’d be happy to present a heaping helping of fecal matter to that little troll Fauci.
Does it contain activated charcoal to trap the farticles or just a scent to cover them?
I hear they’re hiring.
I just had the most fabulous Covid test, he shrieked!
“There is a lot of REAL science indicating that COVID—like cruise ship noroviruses—is spread primarily be fecal to oral transmission.”
Yes for sure. It infects GI via ACE2 but doesn’t cause bad symptoms there.
And idiot New York banned eating in restaurants but allowed using the bathroom — they always do the thing that will be the worst decision.
Also,people don’t realize this isn’t as yucky as it sounds in that there’s always bacteria transferred in this way. It’s trace amounts.
Add to your list....at some point in the mid-summer of 2020, officials in Barcelona, Spain...who run the sewage treatment facility pulled out their daily samples which they take of the plant.
They went back way past December 2019 (which you’d typically suspect as any start-up date) for Corona. They come to March 2019. They find a sample which had the Covid-virus from that period. I got curious about this because the wife and I had gone and visited Barcelona for a week in late March 2019. What I’ll generally say...a lot of Chinese people were in the city...probably over 2,000 of them. The story was openly discussed for about week in Europe, and then dropped.
Covid just officially became a real pain in the a$$.
