My office is requiring all employees to undergo a Covid test. Not the spit test which would have been nice but they are doing the old fashioned Q-tip swab. The doc eyeballs how far he thinks he can shove the tip up each nostril then goes to town. Man did that burn.
it's a liability deal because we got test yesterday but don't go back until Monday but at least they're trying....
anyone else doing this for work?

We test all of our employees (I'm in healthcare) every other week, but we use a throat swab. Much less irritating than the nasal swab. One quick gag as they swab your tonsils then its over.
BTW - We've had 100% negative results on our 500+ employees each of the last 2 times we tested.

Thank goodness no....but our temperatures are checked every morning and they ask us if we have any of the symptoms.

Increased testing means increased positive results. We haven't increased testing. If someone feels sick, they get tested. We had 9 a few months ago and then a long period of nothing, this week, 6 guys got sick. No random testing.

Increased testing means increased positive results. I pay no attention to that. Only that the death toll is climbing.
