over the US' approach to testing for the virus, which has so far killed over 400 people in the states, Mike Pence described the process as"kind of invasive" during a press conference on Sunday.Mike Pence, who tested negative for the disease over the weekend, said during a White House press:"The test was quick, but it goes a fair amount to the sinuses and it is not comfortable.
The test process involves a swab being inserted and twirled inside the patient's nose for 10 seconds, and was described by the vice president as"kind of a pinch". He went on to say that the test was"kind of invasive", but added he was"grateful for the support".
