Poll: How Many Times Have You Been Tested For COVID?

[superman_101680]

4 times. One for a dermatology procedure and the other three were voluntary for work.

 

[cycloneG]

Once. Little surprised they anally tested for a respiratory infection. Was still negative though so that’s good.

The human body is a mystery.

 

[Entropy]

Three times. All negative.
Once during the summer due to symptoms.
Other 2 times this fall were due to the number of students I had coming down with COVID.

Still made me cough really hard after. It was really weird

 

[CyPhi]

More than 15. I work as a PT in a skilled nursing facility where we're tested 3x a week (2 rapids and 1 lab test). Had an outbreak impacting 1/6 residents back in late November. It's been rough.

 

[Trigger]

4 times - all voluntary - twice for suspected exposure and twice before hospital visits with a parent.

All negative

The hospital made me have one in order to be admitted overnight for 2 broken ribs and a punctured/Collapsed lung.

Ribs hurt slightly more than the brain stab

 

[enisthemenace]

Have not been tested. I’ve heard there are people who get off on the brain scoop test. People are weird.

But at least that test was hands free. Doc had his hands on your shoulders during the test right?

So you just have right wing talking points then? Got it.

I must have a massive nasal cavity (humble brag) but I didn't think it was bad at all.

Just got my 4th test results back the day before Christmas. I was surprised on how fast you get result back. Have had all results come back in less than 30 hours and all tests have been the swab type.

I’ve been negative all four times. I swear I had it back in January. Coughing, low grad fever, achy, wheezing and just felt like I would have felt better being dead. Dr prescribed z-pac for me but cough persisted for over a month.

Well, you ARE Superman...

One was a little intense but mainly my tests have been the swab being twisted around the inside of each nostril.

 

[CycloneDaddy]

Tested once, positive.

 

[LarryISU]

Wife and I tried to get tested in August after being around several people at a funeral who tested positive. Tests were being rationed at that time, and we were denied a test because we had no symptoms.

 

[packattack425]

One time. I had to get tested as part of my pre-op appointment for knee surgery.

 

[DevilDog]

Once before I had emergency gallbladder surgery.

 

[CyCrazy]

One time, was negative

 

[SCyclone]

Twice, for work reasons. (I’m pretty sure I had COVID in February)
