Oh good. That sounds better than trying to stick a long swab up my nose into my throat.(There's a helpful video in the link. I don't know how to post that)
Video: What to expect during a drive-thru COVID-19 test in L.A.
...
After driving up and waiting their turn inside their vehicle, the test taker will have to confirm their identity with personnel before receiving a bag containing a swab.
The test taker must cough into their mask three to five times to bring up secretions from their lungs. They then must take the swab and rub it inside their mouth: on the left cheek, right cheek and the roof of the mouth, near the throat, for 10 seconds each.
The swab then needs to be carefully placed, swab head first, into the liquid-filled tube provided in the kit. The test taker must screw the top of the tube back on and shake it to mix the sample with the fluid before putting it back in the bag.
Personnel can then retrieve the kit from the test taker.

We have a free drive up test site about 1 mile away from us. My daughter has said maybe we should ALL get tested and if we all pass, we can actually have some family time together....it does sound tempting for sure...
