corona virus swab test

[Ianab]

That's how it was done here, drive up and call reception when you are in the car park.  Nurse or Doc in PPE does the swab in the car park, and you carry on. Don't need to go into the building or talk to anyone else. When things were serious they had drive thru tents out in the car park. 

Issues seems to be the backlog in processing tests. (limited lab capacity?) If you don't know you are positive for 5-7 days, heck in that time your family could have come down with it too, AND spread it to others. Find out in 24 hours, then you can warn your close contacts to isolate / get tested BEFORE they spread it on.

I'll need to get the virus test middle of August before a routine colonoscopy that was postponed back in May, the CV test must be taken 5 days before the butt scope, not 4 days or 6 days but must be 5 days, they were very clear on that.

yes the goal is to do it soon enough to get the results back, so covid is not brought to the hospital for a routine test, but with a small enough gap, given the incubation period to not get exposed after the cv test and be contagious at the time of the colonoscopy.

That was the reason for my swab test(colonoscopy) but they wanted the swab test done Tue for a Thursday morning procedure even though the paperwork read 4-6 days like yours. I got my colonoscopy on the schedule in a weeks time. The morning they did mine the prep nurse told me I was the only one on my surgeons schedule that day. Two years ago all 3 of the surgeons in their practice had the whole ward lined up. Glad I got done before they shut down electives again. Got a clean report...5 year follow up this go round! Won't miss the prep on darn bit

Got my covid test yesterday for my surgery this mornin. Nasal swab. What a head rush. Doesn't hurt really, but overwhelms your senses. Tear'd me up, head wood spin. Then I donated blood since I was off my asprin for an antibody test.
Our friends who were pretty sick this spring had their blood tested. They tested positive with antibodies. Kinda weird though, we watched their baby boy through it all and we never came down with anything.

Had some blood work done today. A1C. Much better this time, 6.9!!!
Three months ago it was 8.9.  
Whatever I am doing, I will keep doing it.   ;D

   doctor had him drop trou around his ankles, bend over and he sprayed him with the most painful spray he ever felt. 

Wonder what he was spraying him with.

Glyphosate.  Sounds like it worked too!
