China To Use Anal Swab COVID Test On Olympians

The Olympics are just days away and you know I'm super fan number one over here! I LOVE the Olympics, I've always wanted to go...it's like a bucket list thing. But...not too sad I'm missing this round because China, who is hosting the winter games in Beijing, says they will COVID test all athletes and guests who need it, with anal swabs. WHAT?!

China claims the anal swab tests provide much more accuracy than the throat method - and researchers say they may be right! But let's be real...no one in the U.S. is gonna do that. We barely cracked the mask thing for a minute.

Let's just say this will be the most interesting Olympics ever, and I bet you some of the athletes won't test, because they don't want to do this! Can you say superspreader?! Either way I'll be watching curling.
