Finally got my first Covid test on Friday. I was super hesitant because of what I'd read. Husband did it Tuesday and said it was easy. So I went. I booked online at CVS Pharmacy for a test at a CVS near me. Had to wait three days for a spot. They gave me a cotton swab and told me to put it one inch up one nostril, and move it all around while she counted to 10. Same for the second nostril. I detected a kind of alcohol-like odor which disappeared after about five minutes. Got results three hours later in a pdf sent by text. That was it. My brother in New York said Good Samaritan Hospital in Babylon does super easy walk-ups so that may be the case where you are. On a scale of 1-10, discomfort was zero. They called it a Rapid Antigen test. I could not find a saliva test anywhere. She said that the old PCR tests where they stick it all the way up your nose and it hurts like hell aren't done anymore.
