Nose swab into a piece of lab equipment about the size of a bread toaster. They put the swab into the thing right in front of me but I didn't note any further details about the equipment.

I went in for strep testing (which is what it ended up being). They advised covid test too due to local outbreak, I predicted that they might so had done some prep research and thought I could expect a much lower bill.

Lesson learned, avoid getting tested for covid 😂
