i just heard a nasal swab is used to test new patients for swine flu really fast .

This is true. swab tests can be completed within an hr. we get many cases of h1n1 and they arent generally even reported anymore. the reason is most people suffer little more than a normal flu unless immune compromised.

I was talking to a client at work today, and her 2 kids are sick. She brought them to the doctor to see if it was swine flu, and you want to know how they do the swab? They shove a swab up your sinuses way inside your head! Past the shallow inside of your nose and they do this into each nostril!

She said her older girl got the swab done first, and the the Doctor just shoved it up there, and when he had to go swab the other side, her girl started screaming and did not want it done. Her other little boy saw this, and was afraid to get his nose swabbed. But they both got it done to see if what they had was swine flu.

I retched after hearing this. This just seems like such an archaic way of testing for swine flu. Just makes me think they were inserting a chip up in their heads...

Its called a witch swab.

They jam a long stick up your nose. If you die you didn't have the swine flu. If you live you are -unclean-unclean-unclean! Then they lock you in a room for 7 days without food or water. If you live you are not cured and are locked up for another 7 days. If you die you are cured.

Win-Win!!!
