My grandson is turning two next weekend and my daughter says we have to take a Covid test. Is there such a thing as a safe test that doesn’t do damage?

Getting tested PERIOD plays into their hand. Quit getting tested. Since when do we need to get tested for minor cold symptoms? Tell your daughter to get bent and read a book.
People doing this shit to their own parents, it's ridiculous. If you really want to do it, find out if they have the types that you spit into something like a vial. They have those down here in Panama.
Go to a drive thru where you can do it yourself and not have some psycho bitch ram it into your skull.
THIS x 100. I know OP is legit struggling with this, but I can most assuredly tell you -- if either of my two sons decided to procreate, and either they or their wives/partners gave ME or my wife this mandate? My will would be rewritten without them in it and updated sooner than you can say, "Go F*CK yourself, son."
And I really will put my money where my mouth is....because both of our sons have succumbed to getting the shots, but my wife and I NEVER will. At this point, we're pretty much planning on NOT having grandchildren ever since they elected to get it....but we hold out a modicum of hope.
My mom is doing this to my daughter. Her granddaughter. She’s lost her mind, and her and I are supposed to be split in the will, not anymore. I have no guarantee she won’t try to screw me over after my mom dies so she’s going to change it.
The reason they want us jabbed is the other grandfather has MS. Also, my daughter and son in law don’t need to be in our will. Very well off. <sigh>
But I heard the CDC is discontinuing the PCR tests in December because of all the false positives AND it cant differentiate between covid and flu and cold.
I wouldnt do it. What will your daughter do if you end up with a false positive.
I did a drive-thru test last year. They let you do your own swabbing, so... you could probably fake it, which makes it very safe.
Is there only one kind, where they put it up your nose? Not doing that.
Just say no. Be the parent that we know you are.
You naturally want to be there for your grandchild BUT, aside from pictures, how much of your 2nd (or 3rd or ANY) birthday parties do you remember? These events are mostly for the adults rather than the kids, AND, it seems like she's using this event to coerce you into bowing to her tyrannical, emotion-fueled, non-science-based will which can't be good for any of the parties involved.
An additional thought (not trying to be a doomer, but just sayin') -
If you don't have alternative legal arrangements like a living will, I'd worry more about her potentially being in the position to make or influence medical/life decisions for you that'd run counter to your wishes or weren't in your best interest such as committing you to a nursing home, okaying medical treatment [Remesdivr/ventilator], pulling the plug, etc., were you to become incapacitated than I would be about missing a birthday party or holiday.
Good point. I’m changing my living will.
Gotta ask. Is she like checking the results at the door?
Id just slap her with science. Passing a test.today does not mean you wont get it or have someone cough on you on your way there. Not exhibiting symptoms is the only thing that will guarantee you are not spreading it.
No fever, no cough, no worries
Do NOT take a PCR test.
Yeah, buy the rapid tests and just spit on the swab.
That is what I’m looking for - spit on a swab. Hope I can find it.
Go to a drive thru, have a mask on, and just pretend to swab under the mask
Great idea. Thanks!!
