Covid-19 testing research study

I don’t understand those who refuse to give samples. It is for the benefit of everyone and very simple to do.

have done the test, awaiting courier collection today, no timeslot yet so had to do it before 9am just in case!

How easy/hard did you find it, lemsip?

I found the throat swabs quite difficult.
It wasn't through gagging, as I can generally touch my tonsils without that response kicking in, but I found it much more difficult than I had expected to do a decent swab without touching my tongue, as per the instructions - I discovered that my tongue has a will of its own!

The nose swab was easy, but my nose did keep running for the rest of the day,

So who gets invited is it random, I don’t know anyone whose had the letter or test

I don’t see what help this is as you could do the test on Monday and catch the virus on Tuesday

bluebelle, re the test, well of course, but it is a to see where it is in the country I suppose. Random poll.

I didn’t find the test difficult, it tickled my throat, maybe because I’ve no tonsils. The nostril part started my sneezing, which is a common morning occurrence for me.
The courier came exactly as time. So all done and dusted.

I had watched dr ameer khan on youtube showing exactly how to do it and it was a matter of seconds in throat and then nose...so yes, I did gag but was swift...................It was one swab, so throat first then same one up each nostril. I thought what a good job it wasn't up nose first! ha ha ha. as if!

result today, was negative.
