Remember the Nose Swab to test for Covid?

Innova Medical Group Recalls Unauthorized SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Rapid Qualitative Test with Risk of False Test Results

Also distributed under the names Innova COVID-19 Self-Test Kit (3T Configuration), Innova SARS-CoV-2-Antigen Rapid Qualitative Test (7T Configuration), and Innova SARS-CoV-2-Antigen Rapid Qualitative Test (25T Configuration)

Geez, I can't even say "better late than never."

I remember going down to the Senior Center parking lot and getting this test and we had to wear a mask. Since then we have found out that even masks were not worth much. The nose swab was not my favorite thing to do.

The long swab went up to your nostril and swiped at your brain and then they did it again on the other side. As it turns out, those swabs were NOT safe or even accurate since they were just recalled by the FDA in a Class I recall.

This is over two years old. They're not even using them any longer.

@1:19...this was for information on the swabs. We haven't had a need to use them since the panic

Let's hope not 1:19. I never had one, and I never will, unless forced at gunpoint of course. Then I would probably cave.
