Chinese citizens have reacted with a mix of horror and humour after
officials made public their use of anal swabs to screen for COVID-19.

One person said: €śIve done two anal swabs, every time I did one I had
to do a throat swab afterwards €” I was so scared the nurse would forget
to use a new swab.€ť

Patient says, "Honest, Doctor, I was just doing an anal swab and it
slipped."


On a related note, did you see the story about the guy who accidentally sat
on a whole fish?
