Today at Urgent Care:

My Wife: Can you give me a flu test?
UC Doc: You have a respiratory infection, it's not the flu.
W: How do you know?
D: The season's over, we haven't seen a case in 5 weeks.
W: My husband was traveling, and he's sick.
D: It's over everywhere.
W: Please?
D: Sure, but it's going to be negative.

*3 minutes later*

D: Well, I owe you an apology, and should probably offer you a job. We've never seen a flu test turn positive that quickly. I'm calling in Tamiflu for you.

I know this sounds like one of those "and then all the students applauded and asked me to teach the class for the rest of the year" stories, but this is exactly how it went down.

Doctor should have known better. I was on two cross-country airlines and had literally every flu symptom 48 hours after my return. And I tested negative for COVID.

@drmaddkap funny, i did not know that viruses had calendars and clocked in or out depending on what day it is.

"Nope, not my shift, see ya in three months" -- a virus goin on vacation???
