Right, I am in medical school and am not aware of any other way to take the test yet. Pretty easy to say "it was a swab".
huh.
trump's so stupid it's really hard to tell if he's lying about something or if he's too stupid to use words
Im starting to think he didnt get tested.
* I never thought he got tested. Trump is an idiot.
This may help some people remain sane or reduce anxiety, but if you read his tweets in the voice of Larry David, it becomes less scary, and much more entertaining.
It's just the nasal swab for us. It was both, but now the throat swab is no longer required.
Today was the first day we started testing. It was pure chaos for the first 5 hours.
Reporter should've baited him: "did they have to prick your finger twice or did they get it on the first try?"
We're still sending the tests out, but thanks to our governor announcing during a press conference that we now have drive up testing, even though we do not, it's been a goddamn clusterfuck.
I'm on board not believing that Trump was tested.
The only explanation for that answer is maybe someone told him not to describe it so as not to turn people away. FWIW, I've never been swabbed in my nose and it is a little scary for me to think about. I mean not scary from like "I'm not going to get tested scary" but just a level of medical anxiety over it that gives me the heebeejeebes
I've had a million throat swabs for strep, etc.
Regarding availability of tests, my mom works at an infectious disease doctor's office as a nurse in MA and they got the first round of tests middle of last week, 200 of them to start.

Imagine having to be that healthcare worker. You hold his plump orange face in your gloved hands. He tilts his head back slightly. Your eyes lock. And you insert your swab slowly but firmly into his nostril.

...Only two infections away from President Pelosi (!!)
Eh, as much as you want to own the president on something like that, the risk of unintentionally spreading misinformation -- like that covid tests require a blood test or something -- is really high. At this point getting access to trump is very hard for most good journalists, most don't want to risk their press creds getting ripped on something that you wouldnt normally question.
State of the union in 2018 or 2019. Pelosi was really giving him the business over some self congratulatory bull shit.
All they had to do was ask "which version of the test did you get?". Though he'd just marble mouth through another incoherent answer.
The "risk" of spreading misinformation when reporting on what Trump says is 100%.
If avoiding spreading misinformation was the key, the media would literally need to stop reporting his comments.
(which, to be honest, they should)
Trump wishes his doctor were an attractive woman with an issue of Forbes.
Trump has such an issue with the truth that I swear if he tested negative he would claim that he had the disease, then start boasting how he's so strong that he can still work.
Its a little bit ironic that so many wanted Trump and his family to get it and it actually ended up affecting the Trudeaus instead.
Of course there was. The mans a narcissist. Nothing to him matters in the world more than himself or his own survival
There honestly probably wasn't. The vice president keeps saying he wasn't tested. If you're gonna test the president, you're gonna test the vice president and honestly anyone near him on this daily podium. They're using the excuse that only those who show symptoms should be tested but these are literally the leaders of the country. THEY NEED TO BE TESTED.

There's a lot of ways to be a narcissist, test or no test. Sometimes you have to take the risk of letting yourself be open the disease than let the possibility of a positive test fuck your mind up.
And if he cared so much for his own survival dude wouldn't be eating like a pig.
Y'all got this backwards: would they:
A: lie about getting tested when they didnt
Or
B: lie about results after getting tested
B is likelier
President Trump made 16,241 false or misleading claims in his first three years
Gee, I wonder why nobody trusts him...
I have the secret transcripts from the
- Mr. President, are you infected with Cov- CHINESE-DEMOCRAT VIRUS!?
- No.

That's not the only test. The swab is the most widely available.

Can you ask for the blood one? I have a childhood trama involving tubes in my nose when I was hospitalized for a life or death thing, so if I can prevent that I really would really like to. Obviously I'll do if it I have toThat's not the only test. The swab is the most widely available.
There are blood ones.COVID-19 testing - Wikipedia

Right now I would say no, but you can always ask. You never know what changes over time.
The tech for a prick test could be way faster and cheaper down the line.
I guess beggars can't be choosers, I'll probably just ask if/when the time comes and if not then it's what it is
