Why didn't he do the quickie flu test?
he said they have so many cases now, that it's only done in case there is complications and you land in hospital. I heard this from several sources, including the co-worker who had it last week.
The quick test only identifies influenza. It can't tell if it's type A or B or the strain. Odds are his office doesn't have the ability to do the test on site. One advantage of my doctor's office. They can do a lot of lab work like that in 15 minutes and even do x-rays.
