Nasal swab:
Looks a little uncomfortable. But also something that's pretty easy to describe for someone who's remotely able to string a sentence together.

Asked what it was like to take the test, Trump says, "Not, not uh - something I want to do everyday...you know, it's a little bit of a -- it's a little bit of -- good doctors in the White House, but it's a test. It's a test. It's a medical test. Nothing pleasant about it."
Im starting to think he didnt get tested.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

It's just the nasal swab for us. It was both, but now the throat swab is no longer required.First the throat is swabbed much like a strep throat test, then a second swab is put about two inches deep into the nose. These only take a few seconds. They don't hurt, but are not pleasant.

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.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?"

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.
Literally patient zero.If he is sick, we'll see it soon enough. You can't hide that persistent cough.
Someone probably still could lolReporter should've baited him: "did they have to prick your finger twice or did they get it on the first try?"
Trump wishes his doctor were an attractive woman with an issue of Forbes.
Well, there's still plenty of time, unfortunately.I was really hoping him and the rest of the Republicans would get it.

Of course there was. The mans a narcissist. Nothing to him matters in the world more than himself or his own survival
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.

Y'all got this backwards: would they: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.
That's great, really greatThis 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.
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 yearsThis whole thing just reinforces how little credibility this White House has with a lot of people.
That's not the only test. The swab is the most widely available.No blood test. You swab orally and then a nasopharyngeal swab.
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.Can you ask for the blood one?

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 isRight 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.
