Bending Over Backwards To Be Swabbed

China has discovered a new way to test for Covid-19, and the swab isn't going up your nose or down your throat.
Over a million Beijing residents have been swabbed anally to test for infection by the more contagious British strain of Covid-19, according to Chinese authorities, who state that the method is more accurate than nasal swabs.
The science bit is that traces of the virus stay longer in the anus than in the respiratory tract and British scientists seem to agree although i don't know if it will replace the one up the nose here.
The Brits, as Corporal Jones was fond of saying, don't like it up 'em and my reaction would be the same as anyone's if a doctor approached me with a testing kit and asked me to bend over, they can take their swab and stick it right up their....oh.
