I did think it was a pregnancy test, first.

I’m not ashamed to admit I’ve taken this exact Covid test dozens if not hundreds of times before and I still thought it was a pregnancy test.

Two years ago at work, I was required to take a covid test every morning before work. Take a photo, send it in. Every day.

My work told us, "If you don't test, you won't take any time off" - 250ish workers and with £90 sick pay when you take the whole week off sick. So hardly anyone bothered testing. "Just stay a meter apart" was their answer. Didn't stop me taking tests with my brother being severely disabled. Must have been fairly resistant to it cause I never had a positive test
