A friend of mine was tested for swine flu - they did a quick test that indicated he may have it - they did a rapid test to determine whether his flu

was from the same family as H5N1 (it was) and then the sample was sent off for a more detailed test to see if it was the flu everyone was worried about, and he got the results in a couple of days (negative)
