In summary

Did you know they now have a test to determine if you have the flu? And they now have a prescription medicine specifically for the flu? However, the catch is, the test only works within the first two days of symptoms. After that, the test isn't conclusive and they won't give you the medicine. Wow. How much do I wish I'd known that two days ago?

So in summary? It's probably best to just get the damned flu shot.
