I have an immunity to "THIS" strain of the flu. Just like regular flu, this crap morphs, and twists itself into new strains and varients. That is the thing I questioned about the flu vaccine. Are they able to correctly ID the strain we are shooting for? Same for the regular flu vaccine each year. We GUESS at the strain we are fighting, and some years we are wrong.
My test will be sent to the State Health Lab to be counted in the stats for the state. It will be confirmed by them. There is a college pretty close by, and they have about a dozen students who are reporting "flu like" sx. The nurse at the college is sending their tests to the State Board of Health for confirmation. They do have a "rapid" test available at the MD office.
