Since I am the IDIOT who talked about "swab(s) up their nose":

(1) I was commenting on post #3 which talked about nose swabs. Sorry I didn't make that clear.

(2) The first saliva test was approved by the FDA two weeks ago but is NOT approved for home use. Right now, testing involves the swab procedure I described.
