I’m starting this poll so we can see how many InThe00s-ers have been tested for coronavirus.

I took the test today. Now I have to hole up at home for a few days until I get the results.

I got tested about a month ago because I thought I might have had symptoms (loss of taste and smell). I went to a drive thru testing area we have set up in town. It took about 4 days to get the results back but they came back negative.

The last thing I want to do is discourage anyone from getting tested should they feel the need, but the procedure is a bit uncomfortable. I knew it involved a nasal swab but what I didn't know was how far they go up your nose. The tester stuck the swab in my nostril but she kept going up further and further and I was like, "Uh...wait..." and she kept saying "Not yet..."

It wasn't really painful or anything but it was rather unsettling having something shoved so far up my nose.

I am going tomorrow morning as I have to have a negative test before having surgery on Tuesday.

Haven't been tested-yet. I don't see us getting tested anytime in the near future but you never know.

Same here I will have to have a negative test result the 2nd week of September if I decide to have surgery.

I have not taken a test for it yet, but both my parents have. They both tested negative, thankfully.

I haven't gotten tested yet.

I got tested last week after I felt ill for a couple days. I didn't have a fever or any of the recognized COVID-19 symptoms, but for the sake of my family I wanted to do the responsible thing. Thankfully I was negative.

In the U.K. they first swab the back of your throat and then both nostrils. As Al-B says they really put the swab a long way up your nostrils. One of mine is still irritated, and I had the test 5 hours ago.

As Cat said, we haven't been tested yet.  No symptoms for either of us, and since we are retired it is easy for us to isolate/social distance.  Also, Vermont is doing very well, few cases, less than 60 deaths (knock on wood)

No - I have not been tested.

If I do get to be any worse I will.

Back in March, when I felt feverish and a strange cough, just before lockdown started, I contacted the NHS website, but was told, only take the test if I had been abroad or been with anyone that has been abroad. My fever did not last long and my cough was wet, if it was dry it would had been a concern.

I got my test results. NEGATIVE.  :)
