Are there other Covid19 swab test methods apart from the nose swab that caused so much discomfort?
I wouldn’t say it’s painful, but it definitely can and is uncomfortable. Depending on how they do it (it can be one nostril for 10 seconds, or both nostrils for 5 seconds), it can be uncomfortable. They take a swab, stick it through your nose, and swab the posterior, or back surface, of your throat.Read more

They take a swab, stick it through your nose, and swab the posterior, or back surface, of your throat. If you have a sense of smell, depending on how sensitive it is, it becomes even more uncomfortable. But let’s say you actually have COVID-19, or are suffering from congested sinuses due to allergies, and lost your sense of smell for the time being, then it’s not as bad. Some people sneeze or cough afterwards because of the stimulation, but it goes pretty quick.

Does your skin tan easily and rarely sunburn? If so, you probably lean toward a warm or neutral undertone. If not, there’s a good chance you fall into the cool-toned category.
Do your veins appear bluish or more deep purple? If the answer is yes, you’re likely in the cool-toned spectrum. If your veins appear greenish, you most likely skew toward the warm-toned. Those with neutral undertones will have difficulty discerning either color—it will just all look neutral.
Do you look better in silver or gold? Personal preferences aside, cool undertones tend to be flattered by silver/platinum; those with warm undertones look better in gold-toned jewelry. Neutral skin tones look equally great in both.
Does your skin look somewhat ashen or gray? You might have the wild card of the bunch—olive skin—which is a combination of the natural neutral, slightly yellow undertone everyone has plus the greenish ashen hue that’s unique to olive skin. Olive skin tone is very specific, but is not neutral, as some tend to call it.
