After undergoing that nasal swab myself and being told it's 70% accurate at best
there is some great news out of the USA. There is now a home based saliva test
which is as accurate. You don't actually see results at home but send the
sample to a lab for analysis.
I pity those poor aged facility workers having to undergo daily nasal swabs and
can well understand why they opted for having them done every 2 days.

Getting to the point in the USA where so many have had a touch of the virus and so have antibodies - so when admitted to hospital for any condition , like shark attack leading to being deceased , they get tested and show positive so is written up as " coronavirus related"
and get on their covid stats - the real pathology ripping through their society is Covid-19, influenza , general pneumonia
Formula is total death from severe respiratory conditions = (published covid deaths /2) x 3 , a little over 100,000 , a bad year with no end in sight in some regions although summer time might offer a reprieve
