[Ohiya]

NEGATIVE!!!!!

[enough]

1. Where do you live? Assuming Ohio, but what part? How did you get the test? NT

[Ohiya]

4. I live in Columbus,

The test was mandatory, I'm an RN and our facility has recently been hard hit with the virus.

[enough]

9. Thanks for the info. All the best to you and hope you can get some rest. NT

[Ohiya]

12. Thanks, I'm supposed to off untill the weekend.

But, you never know!

[tblue37]

2. If you have symptoms, though, and they progress, get a second test, because false negatives

occur all too often.

[Ohiya]

5. I'm asymptomatic,

but so are a lot of others who are positive.

[USALiberal]

3. Did you have symptoms? nt

[Ohiya]

6. No, the test was required because of my job.

7. and how was the test??? Uncomfortable?.

and sooooo happy you’re a negative!!!!!!!

[Ohiya]

10. It wasn't so bad.

It was about fifteen seconds in each nostril. I had to take about a thirty second breather between swabs to recompose. It felt like I really had to sneeze and the feeling reminded me of getting water up my nose at the swimming pool. But, it was no more uncomfortable for me that any visit to the dentist!

And, Thanks,

I am looking forward to sleeping bed with my wife tonight, instead of on the couch!

Also I'm glad I can go back to work, there are a lot of people I want to be with.

8. I had one yesterday and was surprised how uncomfortable

It was. Did you too?

[Ohiya]

11. It was uncomfortable, but it didn't last very long.

I really didn't think it was so bad, maybe the technique was a little different.

Did you get your results?

[Glimmer of Hope]

13. I am negative! The test was required for a hospital

procedure.

[Ohiya]

15. Good! Best of luck to you!

[lunatica]

I was plenty worried for a while.

[Aristus]

18. Glad to hear it. Nurses rock!

[Ohiya]

22. Thanks,

My job is mostly embarrassingly easy, but there are moments that will age you! Lately, the moments have turned into days. I hope it doesn't turn into an era!

You're the one who rocks!

By the way, I'm drinking some Kirkland Cabernet!

[Aristus]

23. Care to join my weekly drinking thread on Friday night?

I've got most of a bottle of Cabernet left...

[Ohiya]

25. Well, seein' that I'm no longer quarantined...

and the carryout is just around the corner,

[LeftInTX]

21. Is it the same as the flu swab or worse?

I assume the swab is the same, except they probably try harder with coronavirus....

Nasty sensation......

[Ohiya]

24. This is the first swab I've ever had,

But as Stormy says,

It was extremely unpleasant, but it didn't last very long!

[colorado_ufo]

26. I got my results today as well!

We must be dong something right!

I'm usually optimistic, but I'll say - Let's stay negative!
