- When I had H1N1, a couple of ST individuals said I was lying, because I was "presumed" positive. Presumed means there is an epidemic - loosilu Apr 5, 13:15 9
  - I’m not saying you got to, but perhaps you should let that ST thought you were a liar thing go. - Qale Apr 5, 13:42 7

  - For clarity. I tested positive for Influenza A. It was June. There was only one strain of A going around. Additional tests would have been a waste. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 13:23
