Ryan Reynolds Gets Tested For Covid-19, His Wife Blake Lively Documents The Process And Shares Pics Online
No matter how big of a star you are, the process for getting tested for COVID-19 is the same for everyone. Including Ryan Reynolds.
The production of Netflix’s upcoming action flick Red Notice was put on delay in March due to the pandemic. Now, Ryan Reynolds and his acting colleagues are returning to work. But before they did, they had to take a COVID-19 test.

“Back to work on #RedNotice. The Covid Test is quick and easy. The doctor places the swab up your nose, just deep enough to tickle your childhood memories, and then it’s over,” the actor wrote below the photos from before, during, and after the nasal swab. “No matter what you say to him, he won’t buy you dinner first,” he continued.

A week before Ryan and Gal shared photos of them getting tested, their costar “The Rock” revealed that he and his family had tested positive for the virus, but have since recovered. “I wanted to give you guys a little helpful update on things that have been going on on my end for the past two-and-a-half to three weeks now,” the actor shared in a video. “So the update is this: my wife Lauren as well as my two baby girls and myself, we have all tested positive for COVID-19.”
“But I am happy to tell you guys that we as a family are good. We’re on the other end of it, we’re on the other side. We’re no longer contagious, and we are—thank God—we are healthy,” Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson continued.

I haven’t been tested for Covid but I have had that type of testing done before for whooping cough and whilst it isn’t pleasant it is necessary.
If you eyes don't water they didn't do it correctly. Oddly, humming makes the process much more tolerable.
I got tested several weeks ago; fortunately, the result was negative. I heard it was painful so I was somewhat prepared. Although it could have been worse, it was definitely unpleasant.
It was fine, not a big deal at all. Just like a fizzy drink going up your nose and a little watering in one eye for a couple of seconds. Then on my way home.
I've had two and I don't want a third. The second time I thought it would be better because I knew what to expect; phew, I was wrong. I made some kind of whining noise like little kids do and my eyes watered so bad I had to take a moment before driving off (it was a drive thru test site). I felt so childish but that scratching sensation against your brain just doesn't sit well with me!
i was never tested for covid but i do get tested for nose polyps every 6 months. they stick a probe up up (sooo UP hahah) your nose and the last time the doctor gave me a print of my vocal cords since he went so far as to investigate the throat too (neither prompted nor needed lol) so i know it's 100% uncomfortable but it's not the end of the world.
People need to stop saying the COVID-19 test isn't so bad and start demanding medicine advance to the 21st century. Barbaric practices such as this test and intubation, catheterization, and even phlebotomy, to name a few, need to be replaced with less painful or invasive procedures. But they're not even trying to be nice, despite their access to lasers and computers and scanners and stuff.
