I developed a very minor cough a few days ago, pretty sure it wasn’t covid but thought I would get out of the house for a test and I was curious

So booking was easy and I had a range of options, home, walk-in in, drive in, opted for walk in, got there for 9am yesterday and there was no one else but me and the staff, directed in, asked if I had a test before and as I didn’t a young man guided me through the process of taking my own test...Now the swab was tiny, no where near the cotton bud size I was expecting, you swab the back of your throat for 5 seconds each side then put it up you nose for 10 secs, then into the vial, break the stick, seal it up in a bag, the guy scanned the bar code and I put it in the bin, and off I went, got the result just after midnight...negative

Now I had heard horror stories of how awful the test is, but it was one of the easiest tests I have ever had in my life ...
