We got a drive thru Coronavirus test in Los Angeles, CA. There are 3 different kinds of COVID-19 test: nose swab, mouth swab or self nose swab. I wanted to show you the procedure for doing a drive through COVID-19 test. And also our funny reactions to the swab situation.

Lol I hope you all like hearing my scientific explanation on why this was fun
In the UK, you swab the back of your throat fist and then up your nose with the same swab. It always takes me forever because my gag reflex kicks in.
Ha! Thanks for making this fun you guys! I gotta go get one for a sleep study and I've been a bit anxious about the poke your brain thing. Although I think mine will be the deep nose swap where THEY do it for me lol! Not fun but necessary. I enjoy the channel and keep up the great work!
Told by a nurse it makes it much easier to close eyes, leave mouth open and breath. Some tense up with mouth shut and forget to breath.
I can't believe you're from PA!! I thought so since you said you went to college in Pittsburgh, but that's where I'm from!
Covid test not FDA approved
I did the full sinus test before i had a c-section this year. It was worse than the actual c-section pain (although I guess i had painkillers for that…) – I feel like i got sick following it as well – for several days, I had sinus drainage. Be happy you only had the do-it-to yourself version!
My mom got tested since she was coughing. They lost her test and couldn't find it so she got an anti body, they ended up finding the test and they were both negative. She ended up having bronchitis, but she had to stay home from work for ever not getting paid because they lost her test.
Miss Ali Do you have your mask for sale?
Wow, 13 days is pretty bad. We did a drive-through in Charlotte, NC, and my wife got her results in about 48 hours. About 8 hours later, I still hadn't gotten anything on my phone, so I just went to the website and checked, and my results were ready. About 5 hours later it pushed to my phone. So, what I learned is, the push to the phone is nice, but at least here in Charlotte, your results may be ready for a while before the push gets sent.
"My nose is crying!", what a great description! 🙂
I took the long swab touching my brain and it took them one month to get me the results. I thought, well, if I was positive they would have gotten right back to me…nope, I was positive! I was fortunate to only have had a fever for a couple days, coughing and sneezing. That was all back in March in NJ.
Thank you for sharing this… I am in NY and am high risk working from home and have not been able to get tested… but have been super curious on how that looks… been suck inside since March … covid go away
If the virus is so easily transmitted, why do we have to shove a swab 6 inches up your nose to get an accurate result? Makes you wonder.
Hello Ali you guys are so lucky that you could do it their own self I had to go into a doctor's office and they do it for you and I had to do it four times the last one heard it like he'll be swapped it they let it sit for a few minutes and then they rotated it out I came back positive three times and I came back negative. I was sick for two weeks end of June and the whole rest of July so please let everybody know that they all should wear a mask every time when they're out because this covid-19 is for real ain't no joke
Pretty insane how the testing process is so inconsistent through the nation. No wonder there are people who are getting multiple tests with mixed results.
I made my mom get me Jamba Juice after🙂
My swab test result have taken 8, 14, and 5 days. Not terribly useful. I also did a blood test that had results in 15 min.
Ali is a very masochistic person.
This is making my eyes water so much…..and I'm only 3 minutes in. I'm sure I'll finish eventually…..my eyes will still be watering 😂
In Texas, I went and got the rapid test done. Which was the up the nose that they do. Unfortunately, the first test came back inconclusive, so they had to come back in and give me it again. It was horrible. But all came back negative, so that was good.
Great video! Now I know what to expect should the need for a test arise. What lion chases you to give you nose swabs?
The dog mask is super cool. And just like three seconds after I thought that, Ali points it out and says it's "super cool".
I had Covid on like 5 out of 10 – a week of high fever, two days of scary shortness of breath, three weeks of symptoms overall and risidual respiratory problems I had to correct with breathing gymnastics afterwards. Swabs (I had 4 in total) are such a negligible discomfort in comparison.
Good luck on it and thanks for sharing !
One i saw in LA was a self-mouth swab (like for DNA)
Unfortunately the test method has significant shortcoming (cannot test next day after infection, need to wait 7 days to be tested and several more days to get results)
Great video, glad you documented it. I was watching an interview with Bill Gates where he said the fact that it is taking so long to get results is ridiculous and misses the point of testing in the first place. It should be less than 72 hour tops. America is paying for worse results. Sucks.
I was so terrified watching this. This was brave. I loved both of your masks! Of course, I recognized Ali's logo, but I got to thinking – what is the story behind that logo? Is that a yellow doughnut on a comic explosion?
Ayyy you're from PA? That's dope, I'm from Bloomsburg
After 13 days, who nose what the results would be if you took another test.
I had no choice here in NC. I got the "Long Stick Brain Tickler Nose Swab" & a positive result in 2 days. I only had a fever for a day & a half.
Who else was just kinda staring at her abs invisioning what we would look like with abs
I've been donating platelets at Red Cross every week, and you get covid antibody test results in the app a few days later. Help burn/cancer patients, and make sure you're not an asymptomatic carrier, win-win!
That’s basically how mine went as well. My nose itched like crazy on my drive home.

I had the medium test only the nurse had to do it for me. Took almost two weeks to get my negative results. I had to quarantine during that time too which was not much fun.
Ok, if that test is medium suck, I shudder at what full suck is like.
