| LjL | i feel it would hurt me | 21:24 |
| LjL | my nose is quite perennially clogged | 21:24 |
| LjL | i had a nose endoscopy (not sure if it has a more specific name) once, and the doctor could only check one nostril because the other was just too slammed shut to get into | 21:25 |
| LjL | tbh i think covid tests could also be done with just a saliva swab and be almost equally accurate | 21:25 |
| de-facto | i just gargled today, its super easy | 21:30 |
| de-facto | for screening purpose, i do it every week now | 21:30 |
| de-facto | they give a little bottle, a straw and a tiny sample tube (7x50mm). in the morning one would sip the salty water from the bottle, gargle with it 30s, use the straw to put it back in the bottle, then cough and pull up the nose several times and try to put the result with the straw in the bottle, close it, shake it, and fill it with the pointed "pipette" like tip into the sampling tube | 21:32 |
| de-facto | super easy and takes like 2 minutes, collecting from all over the mucus (but surface, hence averaging out concentrations) | 21:33 |
| de-facto | no cotton swabs or such needed for that method, but also does not collect from inside the nasal surface | 21:34 |
| de-facto | what would be the to be assumed disadvantages? | 21:34 |
| de-facto | i wonder how sensitivity would compare to classic cotton swab especially in the early infection | 21:37 |
| LjL | de-facto, there was a paper that said it's actually better to use saliva, but it's an old paper. i vaguely remember something that came out later that said nose is more accurate. so maybe it's not so clear | 21:38 |

| LjL | yeah that | 21:38 |
| LjL | haha my comment on that | 21:39 |

| LjL | https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2016359 | 21:41 |
| LjL | although it's as a letter to the editor apparently (so not peer-reviewed?) | 21:41 |
| de-facto | "When we compared SARS-CoV-2 detection from patient-matched nasopharyngeal and saliva samples, we found that saliva yielded greater detection sensitivity and consistency throughout the course of infection. Furthermore, we report less variability in self-sample collection of saliva." | 21:42 |
| LjL | "Collection of saliva samples by patients themselves negates the need for direct interaction between health care workers and patients. This interaction is a source of major testing bottlenecks and presents a risk of nosocomial infection." | 21:42 |
| LjL | de-facto, what did i say, that among the things Merkel announced last time, it was all pretty "meh", except the free weekly rapid test would be a welcome thing | 21:43 |
| de-facto | i think it makes sense that saliva samples are more sensitive in the later progressions when it starts to travel down both the airways and the gastrointestinal tract, but what about the very early stages (where it would be most important to detect it)? | 21:45 |
