Random question, folks...

Hospital chains are now starting to require vendors to get Covid tests before we can enter the OR and support surgeries that we've been requested to be at... No big deal. Only downside is that some are requiring negative tests within 72 hours of the surgery and some are making it where the test has to have been within 7 days.

Whatever. Your house, your rules.

The question is.. Is it safe to have that long ass q-tips tickling the back of my brain/my employees' brains that damned often? Seriously seems like that could cause some issues if they make everyone adhere to that for an extended period of time. God knows that shit isn't comfortable and it still feels like I have something stuck in there. I can only imagine how funky it will feel after my 4th or 5th test in a few weeks time.
Short answer- I don’t know.
It would seem like as long as the test is being done by a competent person, the only likely risk would be some irritation to the tissues. Given a few days between tests, that seems fairly unlikely.
Getting swabbed repeatedly does not sound fun though, I hope it is not too bad for you.

was that test just a prick of blood?

was it blood extracted via needle?
Just a little prick. Took them maybe 15 minutes to run it but there were obviously many people in their cars so it took a bit. Everyone hopes they’ve already had it lol.

Explain again why it’s a big deal. I will if it’s worth it.
I have no idea. I'm with you though. If it is something uber important then I'll do it, but I donated simple blood once and that shit was way more painful/uncomfortable than I thought it would be. I couldn't even imagine plasma.

LOL at this utter shite. If it was killing more than 88% of people with Vitamin D deficiency, it would wipe out nearly half of the planet, not have a 1% mortality rate.

I looked this guy up - yep, he's your stereotypical chiropractor posing as a medical doctor fraudster and snake oil salesman.
So you are saying 50% of world population is deficient in vitamin D?
