    My body has absorbed so much soap and disinfectant lately that when I pee it cleans the toilet.

    And you thought nose swabs were bad! China begins using anal swabs to test for Covid in Beijing because 'they are much more accurate'

    • The city of Beijing is using Covid anal swabs on residents amid a fresh outbreak
    • The nucleic acid swab needs to be inserted about one inch inside one's rectum
    • It is to be rotated for several times before completing the 10-second procedure
    • Expert says the derriere method is 'more accurate' than throat and nose tests


    Beijing is using anal swabs to test its residents for coronavirus, a method that experts say is more accurate and raises the chances of detecting the virus.

    To collect test samples, the swab needs to be inserted about three to five centimetres (1.2 to 2 inches) into the rectum and rotated several times.

    After completing the motion twice, the swab is removed before being securely placed inside a sample container. The whole procedure is said to take about 10 seconds.


    The British are considering a drive-through version of this, and Blackpool maybe one of the first if they can get enough volunteers

    Britain started doing this months ago, and the queues were long:
