2. If you have symptoms, though, and they progress, get a second test, because false negatives

occur all too often.

10. It wasn't so bad.

It was about fifteen seconds in each nostril. I had to take about a thirty second breather between swabs to recompose. It felt like I really had to sneeze and the feeling reminded me of getting water up my nose at the swimming pool. But, it was no more uncomfortable for me that any visit to the dentist!

And, Thanks,

I am looking forward to sleeping bed with my wife tonight, instead of on the couch!

Also I'm glad I can go back to work, there are a lot of people I want to be with.

11. It was uncomfortable, but it didn't last very long.

I really didn't think it was so bad, maybe the technique was a little different.

Did you get your results?

22. Thanks,

My job is mostly embarrassingly easy, but there are moments that will age you! Lately, the moments have turned into days. I hope it doesn't turn into an era!

You're the one who rocks!

By the way, I'm drinking some Kirkland Cabernet!

21. Is it the same as the flu swab or worse?

I assume the swab is the same, except they probably try harder with coronavirus....

Nasty sensation......

24. This is the first swab I've ever had,

But as Stormy says,

It was extremely unpleasant, but it didn't last very long!
