Default COVID-19 TESTING

This makes sense to me. I can't believe I had not thought of it myself. It is not even necessary to drive to a testing site.

A new and easy test for the horror of Covid 19 is doing the rounds and it's simple, quick and positive (or negative if you see what I mean).
Take a glass and pour a decent dram of your favorite whisky into it; then see if you can smell it. If you can, then you are halfway there.
Then drink it. If you can taste it then it is reasonable to assume you are currently free of the virus because the loss of the sense of smell and taste is a common symptom.
I tested myself 7 times last night and was virus free every time thank goodness.
I will have to test myself again today because I have developed a throbbing headache which can also be one of the symptoms.

I'll report my results later.

PS: SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THE IRISH WOULD SOLVE THE COV-19 TESTING PROBLEM

And much more enjoyable than having someone lean in your car window and tickle your brain with a cotton swab. Gawd, it was unpleasant. Eyes were watering for a half hour.

I'm trying to sign up for a vaccine study. If you can't beat em, join em. Get paid to have it rather than pay to get over it

Talked to the sweet lady with the vaccine people Friday and passed pre-screening! They say $200 to $4500 with most getting $1500. Its gun auction season, so I need a gun room stimulus check

Mills, I never saw you as a guinea pig. Driving through PA last week there were signs for personal injury lawyers every half mile. Be careful on those drug trials my friend.

I actually s-s-s-started my t-t-t-thirds day of home t-t-t-t-testing and so far I feel just woonderful. Tanks for the idea Georgie. Now....where did I p-p-put my spiderman mask?

Who is your company? My daughter is a scientist with Pfizer a mile down the street from me.
