Well I won't be testing my son again

[firef1y]

DS11, SN with sensory issues, was sneezing like crazy on Wednesday, was pretty convinced it was his usual allergies but decided to do a lft on him just in case. Knew throat would be impossible, he started gagging before I'd even opened the swab. So did both nostrils, negative result, as expected, but we've now had 36hours of intermittent nosebleeds.
He's not in school ATM, so no worries about that. Sneezing, as expected, has stopped.
But there's no way I'll be putting him through that twice a week once he's back in school.

I'm an adult and I've had multiple tests and I still cry/gag/have a breakdown every time I have to

@AppleJane

If people were exempt on medical grounds from wearing masks then some people, especially children, should be exempt from shoving swabs up their noses too.

No one is forced to do a test.

@Milkbottlelegs while that may be true you certainly wouldn't know it from some of the responses on here. And I meant in terms of being 'judged'.
