#1 Does it come with a training video, or a depth measurement?

Last December, I had a flu test (and failed) and I never would've shoved that swab up that far up my nose! The nurse had me coming off the chair.

If the sample is not done correctly, the test is useless.

#2 If you you're not 100% quarantined shouldn't you have to test yourself every day? I'm mean you could've been exposed. I see big pro=fits for somebody.

#3 All that nose test does is it show maybe that you have some kind of virus in your sinus cavity, not that you actually have/had the COVID-19 virus.

a blood test (pin prick test) would be far more accurate, except i still don't have a satisfactory answer just how they test for COVID-19. It seems if you have any kind of flu virus, or even the common cold, you get tested positive for COVID-19

I'm now beginning to think the entire COVID-19 testing is a scam.
