Any of you taken a COVID 19 test? Is it painful?

    I had to take one a couple weeks ago, before I was admitted to the hospital.  
    Thought I might be having a heart attack, due to chest pains ... but all tests came back negative.  Probably just stress.

    Anyway, the test was a nasal swab.  Not painful, but I wanted to sneeze after.  lol

    Jim had one today Walt. Thursday he will have MOHS SURGERY for skin cancer on his lip. SQUAMOUS CELL. He was required to get the test today. The throat swab wasn't bad but the nasal swab? Not a lot of fun. I asked him if it were painful and he said.."a little". It was very uncomfortable but the gal did it very quickly and after a few minutes he was fine. Not something I will volunteer for though. I was in the car with him (it was a Kaiser DRIVE THROUGH test) and I can't see doing it. Thank you for your reply m'dear! :) This post was edited by RosieG at September 21, 2020 12:28 PM MDT
