No, wait, let me really drive this home.
Chinese cities using anal swabs to screen COVID-19 infections
Some Chinese cities are using samples taken from the anus to detect potential COVID-19 infections as China steps up screening to make sure no potential carrier of the new coronavirus is missed amid regional outbreaks and ahead of the Lunar New Year holidays.
A throat swab on a 52-year-old man in Weinan, a city in northern Shaanxi province, showed negative result after the person showed symptoms such as coughing and appetite loss, a city official said on Wednesday, but he tested positive using nose and anal swabs.
We went from “don’t wear a mask” to “you should wear at least two masks at the same time” in less than a year.
If they come to the conclusion that the false-negative rate for anal swabs is lower than that of other fast COVID tests, you know they are going to mandate anal swabs.
Do you have any idea how far they have to jam that swab up your nose to do a test?
Here’s a hint:
Now picture that, IN YOUR BUTTHOLE!
Remember when I posted this joke last year?
It came true. I fucking called it.
Just be sure to eat a full course meal of Indian food before your swab.
But(t) wait!
Less than an hour after Burden was inaugurated, the WHO said the PCR tests give way too many false positives, and a new protocol needs to be put in place to provide a more realistic picture.

Has anything about this panicdemic remained consistent for more than an hour???
But…. but…… ‘science…..
Has the WHO ever in the past, or will it ever in the future, say anything that has any measurable relationship to reality, science, or honesty?
One might as well pay attention to PETA, or SNL, for science advice.
Except those two entities might get it right on occasion, out of sheer randomness.
The WHO’s statements on Covid are actually consistently worse than random. You could make money by betting opposite of whatever they say.
I just keep seeing the scene from “Idiocracy” where they have a half dozen probes for the analyzer machine and the guy forgets which one goes in the butt and which one goes in the mouth…
I have a car, I’ll drive. If I can’t drive there, they hate Americans, anyways…
