Coronavirus Test Can Detect Virus In 30 Seconds By Inserting 6-Inch Tube Inside Urethra
2020-07-30
I'm in!
[NotAllowedTo] The new coronavirus test could lead to confirmed cases being treated quicker and fewer laboratory tests being needed, say experts.
The reinfection rate would be rather small, I'll wager.

And wait'll you read about what they have in the, er, "pipeline."

Not the Onion...to their loss...
Note the source is not a reasonably serious news source like Breitbart, the Daily Mail, or SciencXpress... or even the New York Times. Then note that the article does not link to a scientific source or refer to one, so we could look it up. Finally, a search of this test, with or without the University of Chicago Medical School yields only this article, suggesting this delightful story is either inaccurate or a hoax.

#7  The home page shows it's a satire site: "16 STATES REPORT AR-15 SHORTAGES AS AMERICANS “PROTECT THEMSELVES” FROM PANDEMIC"
Not in BB's league.

#2  Sounds like Doc in Deadwood when Hickok comes to him about "his problem."

"Now, I'm going to stick this glass rod up your peeder. It's going to hurt like hell, but you got to hold still."

#1  I'll take my chances with the virus. My wife has been an "essential" worker this entire time. This is bullshit.
