6. I've had both rapid and regular tests

Both were unpleasant. Neither was at all painful. Both were negative.

Biggest problem for me was the time required to get results, since the labs are swamped. The regular test took 8 days to get results (they had said to allow 5-7 business days, so they did OK there). The rapid test -- the 15-minute one -- took 4 days and 7 hours.
