MINNEAPOLIS - There's been a lot of talk about COVID-19 tests. What exactly is it? Minnesota indie-pop artist Jeremy Messersmith took a video of his recent test. 

Messersmith's COVID-19 scare started when we woke up and didn't have a voice. He tells his story here:

Once he was selected to take a test, he took video on his cell phone to show how quick and easy it is:

Messersmith will now wait 3-5 days to find out if he tested positive for COVID-19. How did the test feel? 

My brother is an ER doc on the front lines of this thing and he's asked me to share what the test is. It's uncomfortable and triggers a cough/sneeze, but also kinda novel? 10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND.
