A swab deep in your nose and at the back of your throat is not "very invasive".
- paranoidrobot 6y agoHaving seen how it's done via plenty of news reports, having a swap stuck up the back of my nose certainly looks plenty invasive, not to mention potentially painful. I can certainly imagine someone who's asymptomatic and is more nervous about it being disinclined to voluntarily undergo testing. If it were a finger-tip prick or cheek-swap it'd probably have a lot more acceptance.
- jjgreen 6y agoThis is true, very few would object to a finger-prick, and there was talk of a "spit test" a few weeks back; that would push testing rates to close to 100%
