A Texas doctor’s graphic description of just how invasive the test for COVID-19 is has garnered sympathy from Twitters users who have themselves gone through the test, HuffPost reports. The doctor hopes that the gruesome illustration will spur Americans to stay home to stop the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
It’s no secret that the test for COVID-19, the respiratory illness that derives from the novel coronavirus, can most charitably be described as “invasive.” A few people who have undergone the procedure have described it in gruesome detail; the process includes having a sterile cotton swab inserted through the nose and held against the back of the throat for several seconds, in order to obtain a sample that will then be tested.
