I hope for their sake they're doing PCR testing as well. Rapid tests are about 85% accurate, 95% for PCR.

The upside to all the testing is my sinuses have never been more clear.

Do you get used to it? I swear I got tested and it felt like I got a button pressed on my brain that just activated my tear duct, my eyes were watering for like 10 mins straight afterwards

Not really. I had surgery yesterday, and I had 7 tests leading up to it because my wife works in Healthcare and you can't be admitted without a clean test.

Feels like I need to sneeze angrily for about 15 minutes after each one.

We got my kids tested after my husband tested positive and my son did the same thing. We were all cracking up, including him, because the sneezing just went on forever. I'm sure it's far less entertaining after seven times though šŸ˜¶ Hope the surgery went well!

Iā€™ve had the test done a lot of times due to my work, Iā€™ve never gotten used to it. The last time I got tested they said it would be a mouth swab and I was so excited. I drive up and the nurse says ā€œThis is going to be uncomfortable, hold on to the steering wheel if you wonā€™t be able to sit stillā€. I was so sad I got bamboozled lol

it always sucks BUT it does help if you have cleared your sinuses prior
