This came from a tweet from an actual doctor. Did you notice how long is the cotton swab used to penetrate the nose of the patient. Imagine that super long cotton swab entering the hole of your nose up to the sinus. It penetrates half of your head. It's a long stick entering your nose! Well because your nose is a virgin from getting entered by something long, You may experience some bleeding without lube. Geez I will never ever want to get to the point of getting tested. Source:

I believe they do this if the person cannot or does not produce sputum or mucus.

@CaptAlbertWhisker lol. But from what I read, this is only necessary if you can't produce sputum. Some tests turned out inaccurate because of the samples given by the patients are just spit.

Nice post, perhaps it would rally people to make an effort to stay healthy and make hard headed people who defy curfew and lockdown to think twice

The penetration to the hole is said to be a slow and painful one, it's like a reverse birth but on the nose.

Another reason why we must comply with the quarantine. I don't want that forcing its way into my head!

Yeah keep the nose holes virgin. I got overwhelmed on how long that thing is. What if the doctor accidentally broke it inside your nose.

If you will imagine the procedure, it might be painful but this has done to me twice during the examination of my nose. The procedure also is to get a swab for bacteria culturing. Nasal endoscopy was also done but it's not painful as you imagine.

still dont want something long entering my face. I saw a video on how its done and there is a guy who is so used to it that the penetration and exit of the swab is very fast.

@CaptAlbertWhisker Good thing my ENT did excellent job. I was afraid before the procedure but I was relaxed during the actuality.
