"China rolls out anal swab coronavirus tests…"
You have got to be kidding, right? I can’t imagine showing up on set, going behind a curtain and having a nurse say drop your pants and bend over. I am not sure who would have it worse, the nurse or the patient. Could you imagine the nightmares the poor nurses must have every night? I think many actors would find a new profession until they were vaccinated.
So why would China subject their medical professionals and patients to this treatment? According to the second half of the article's title, "…it's more accurate than throat method." Two patients who had tested negative with a throat swab, tested positive with an anal swab test. I would hope that there was more data than just two people with contradictory results to instill this practice.
The process is controversial in China and is currently only being used on a sample of group of unlucky coronavirus patients before being discharged from hospitals and some people in quarantine. China is still determining whether or not they will roll out the process across the country.
Hopefully, the experiment ends before it really gets started, otherwise there will be a whole new meaning to the pharse, "Coronavirus Testing In The Rear.".
Take care and be safe.
