Singady l he didn’t even stick up his nose

so true i was searching for something like this so i could calm down about getting tested 😂

Tara McGlocklin same bro😂 I just took it! I need it to go to a flight

On god

same i don’t have corona but i’m getting tested for precaution before going to a friends small get together and i’m rlly scared

How are you? I have mine tomorrow and here to prep myself

I have mine today and I'm trying to prepare myself.

@@Cinderbellie i negative! And it was exactly as he showed so it was good

@@IloveCats24767 what you see here is exactly what you’ll do at CVS it’s simple easy and painless!

@@Them_Yangs Im happy for you! Waiting on my results. Stay safe yall!! 💕

i feel you i’m getting mine i’m an hour i’m really nervous

How was it?

Oh my gosh, same! I am going in a hour and I am nervous...I got a flu one yesterday but I am still nervous.

How much time did u wait to get the results?

@@cielo4242 You will get your results 3-7 days of you DO NOT get the rapid test. If you get the rapid test it’s 1-3 days. Hope this helped and all goes well 😊

how was it i have to get tested at school

Same here brother I can only imagine how that gonna feel

@@urielmartinez7712 right

@@urielmartinez7712 But he didn't stick it all the way up his nose.

It sucks I had to have one yesterday it is definitely not pleasant

@@elmalloc Self test doesnt go as deep to avoid nasal damage.

same

Lol

The other videos made it look so painful. Its no laughing matter but I try to laugh through my anxiety. I bet it would hurt me like hell hecause Im too sensitive to begin with.

You’ve seen worse. Remember the naked guy and the horse? R.I.P.

I never thought I'd *actively search for* a video of a guy in his car sticking a qtip up his nose.

How long did you wait for results

Alloverdaplace you don’t have to go in deep at all, that’s the point. I got this test and you do it yourself to keep it from hurting! It was super easy

You're actually supposed to keep going until you feel resistance, everyone's nose is quite different, its not always supposed to be deep.

Typically self swabs are anterior nares which are only required to be inserted half an inch for 10 seconds on each side. Plenty adequate according to the CDC.

If your eyes don’t water you’re wasting your time.

@@okieveggie5948 and you trust big pharma with your life than

I wouldn't go for it either

It is scary

Yes I had the test done for the flue a few years ago. My brain felt weird

It’s interesting how differently tests are done. I had my first one today and they said it would be about an inch up my nose, swirled around 4 times in each nostril. I can’t imagine doing it myself like he did!

Yeah the self administered tests don't require you to put the qtip all the way up there like the ones that aren't. Probably because if they had people trying to shove qtips that far up their noses they would likely injure themselves. They are slightly less accurate though, since they don't go as far up as the nurse administered ones.

There are two main types of nasal self swabs: anterior nares and mid-turbinate. They depend on the swab material. Mid-turbinate a lot of times is inserted 3 inches while anterior nares is only 1 inch. The CDC says even less than that is required for both

im 13 and i had it once and it was terrible. then they lost my test so i had to do it again

That's the one I did yesterday. I cried.

I had that one done on me too and it felt like it scraped me too much...i didn't think it would hurt that much. 😟

Sounds like a way to make you WAY more susceptible to getting covid 19 if you dont have it.. Scratching the inside of your nose where bacteria and viruses enter just making it easier to catch it. I refuse to get tested

Covid deniers 😑😤

I think this is slightly older than the current method

How long did it take you to get result from CVS? It has been 5 days for my husband. Still waiting.

@@Chelszzang93 I had a family member get a test at CVS and it took 11 days to get results. That was 2 weeks ago so it might take even longer now. This was in California by the way.

It is contaminated!

I also got a Brown bag. This may have been when they first started the testing

Cvs testing you’ll be waiting forever !

I’m at cvs right this moment with my appointment at 12:10 and it’s already 12:20🤦‍♂️

Jasmine celina it is cvsPHARMACY< get it? Prescriptions

COMBES do they do testings. Get it? TESTINGS

Jasmine celina yeah so you wait patiently while people pick up their prescriptions 💁🏽‍♂️

Hope your test came back negative and you are well! Did you you get your results in 2-4 days like they said? We are looking a trip in a few months. That state, right now at least requires a negative test taken within 5 days of arrival.

My test came back negative, the results took 3 days to come in. It was different from the test in the video, for my test they just came over to my car and shoved it 6 inches up my nose in less then a second. It was really quite painful so prepare yourself for that, it's like getting your brain stabbed!

Sam AAsum-Shetler were did u go to get tested ?! I’m going to cvs

Miracle LeBlanc cvs in Athens

@@miraclevlogs4527 I went to the Woodburn legacy health center, in Woodburn Oregon.

Where did you get tested?

How was it? Did they let you do it yourself?

You know I rather have the nurses do it, you never know if you doing it right and won’t get correct results

Yeah cuz I don’t want people looking up my nose

@CFH GIRL I hope all went well for you. I have to go today in a little bit... the nerves are high.

@CFH GIRL Just went and, wow - it tickled for sure, but it was also like a clawed monster picking my nose LoL. Yep, I had to do my own as well, just said 'go in until you feel resistance'. Okay. LoL. Holy crap, yellow jackets, eh? Are you country, farm or just an unlucky city woman? That many says nest, and country's best place for all that. Yes, best you got some testing with your symptoms juuuust in case. I hope all goes well for you, and best wishes!

Try pixel home covid testing

Me too...

@@SebastianPociask i’m scared i go tomorrow

@@romalinarose9009 I did it. If you are doing a rapid test its not bad

@@SebastianPociask wait i actually am getting a rapid test turns our it’s saturday. How is it different do they swab it up your nose?

@@romalinarose9009 So they hand you a swab, and they tell you to put it in your nose about a inch in and do a circle motion. I know this is weird but if you put your finger in your nose and push it as far as you can that's how far it'll go. The good news is that you do it yourself, and in human nature you won't hurt yourself. Btw unfortunately I have tested Positive

I would also like to know

They are collecting specimens from different areas. I believe nasopharyngeal specimens are considered better but this seems to be an anterior nares specimen. It appears these can be done by the individual his or herself. They have the different testing options available for view on the CDC website. I know that at least some physician clinics are gathering nasopharyngeal specimens when they test. This is all as far as I know and I can't say with 100% certainty. Cheers and inform yourself as much as possible!

Touched your brain? That’s not possible I had blood clots removed through my nose with a 10 in metal rod. Doesn’t touch your brain

@@Sequel7 he's just giving an example bruh. No one's asking abt ur metal rod lol

Got Game figure of speech. Not literal.

I hope you're doing well

Most of the time I'm alright but the bad days are baaaaad.

Do you think you might have PTSD?

I have a phobia of vomiting that gives me a lot of anxiety about medical procedures as well including the COVID test. I feel like I’ll be alright as long as I get to do the test myself.Know you’re not alone with the struggles

Yes, mine is. How long was your nose bleeding for?

Jeremy S it bled for a couple hours. But, I take a blood thinner also.

Yes. Mine was like this. Nurse inserted it deep into nose and twirled it for about 5 seconds. When she pulled it out, blood started to stream out. I had to spit blood into the garbage can because it was leaking into my throat. Stopped after about 2mins. Very unpleasant overall.

Thx for the truthful warning. Ugh.

How did it go? I was thinking of getting tested tomorrow just to ease my mind

I went Tuesday and it was so so easy. The one I went to gave me a paper bag, and the swab was longer and kind of pointed. They make you put on gloves first, then do the swab while they count 15 seconds in each nostril. Then you put it into the tube and break the end off, and seal it in the bag. There's a little door to drop your bag, and they gave me a sanitizing wipe to clean that for the next person. When I pulled up, they needed my DL number, asked if I had insurance (I don't), and they got everything ready. Sje said she would copy my ID but she didnt. It took under 10 minutes. Easy peasy

@@iammissheather775 ooh that does seem simple! How long did it take to get results back?

How long did you wait for your results?

My swab was longer too🤔

Exactly LOL this is the first time I've even seen anybody do it themselves… Nurses have to do it and they stick it up there at like 4 inches LOL

I just got mine done today. A nurse was giving instructions to do the same. So easy and fast. Painless.

Elva Arredondo was it really that easy? Did you go in a office?

Owen Wehmann it seems like the ones they make you do yourself is a lot less painless than the ones that doctors insert into your nose. I also noticed the procedure is different.

Maybe they gave you covid

@@Jayisafunkydude I tested negative so maybe I just have a cold.

The self administered tests don't require you to go that far up.

How was it, if you don't mind me asking?

@@sarahn.2296 I don’t mind at all. It was fine. Didn’t hurt. Results were difficult to wait for, but they arrive soon enough. But wear a glove. You have to lift a door on a metal bin and they give you an antibacterial wipe. So I’d rather have had a glove ready. The person testing right before you could be positive, so I don’t trust one wipe.

@@andrewlew89 thanks for replying. I have my test scheduled for tomorrow morning. I had a nasal swab (this kind) at a hospital a year ago, then I had the brain-tickling one a few months later and is was excruciating, I'll never do that again. I'm worried though because everyone in these videos say that their results are all negative and I'm worried that the tests aren't going back far enough. Logically I know they are but I get scared of getting a false negative.

Did it hurt

Danielle Belle did it hurt?

They're possibly not quite as accurate if you do the self administered ones like he did (about 10% higher chance of false negative, according to studies so far), so I guess some places are choosing to still do the swabs that go deeper.

@@Odiekins Thankfully, so far, the chance of false positives with all forms of covid tests is nearly zero, and even when they do happen, they are largely due to human error (such as contaminated surfaces and the like) and not a flaw with the test itself. Unfortunately, because of the nature of this pandemic and the need to get things to market quickly, the FDA (I'm in the us) has had to allow emergency use authorization, which means they aren't going through the rigorous vetting process they would normally go through with the FDA, and we're having to learn some of their limitations on the fly. But we are really very lucky to have access to relatively accurate testing so quickly in the face of a heretofore unknown virus, and improvements to testing to make them faster, easier, and more accurate are being introduced constantly. Overall, all forms of covid test appear to be very accurate and false negatives are much more of a concern than false positives, both in terms of probability and consequences.

@@Odiekins it's the false NEGATIVES you need to be concerned about. THOSE can be truly dangerous.

Don't worry it's not that bad, i did it on school like 2 times and it's not that bad

What training? You aren't DOING the test... you're reading a script.

@@mckenna8663 ok

Lol

He was negative

@@marckid93 I assumed he died. 😂

I work in a urgent care clinic (I'm here now). after reading your comment I went back to measure one of our swabs. You are suppose to insert it up to the line OR until you feel resistance. The line is at 3 1/8". The entire swab is longer - but it doesn't all go in. And, just to explain a little further. There is a clear passage from the nostril to the back of the throat. That's why when you use nose drops, you can often taste them in the back of your throat - - or kids can blow milk out of their noses in the lunchroom when someone tells them a poorly timed joke. It's a straight passage. The swab is so very thin and flexible that it slips in and out easily. And unlike how we were first trained, all that is needed is insert, small twist at the back, remove, and repeat on the other side. I can perform the entire motion in 7 to 10 seconds. Most of my patients tell me, "That wasn't nearly as bad as I had been told - I was so scared! But that was fine." When I was first trained we were to insert, twist and sit in each passage for a slow count of 10...the testing has changed for the better. And lastly, you have a skull in the way... it can't touch/puncture/penetrate your brain (nor do these things to your eyes).
