Many asymptomatic? Or do they not come in to the lab for testing?

[Jolly]

No, these were ER patients, so everyone was symptomatic. Typically fever, scratchy throat and some sinus involvement. Major complaint was the throat stuff.

I burned two kits, which was 60 tests, total.

Side note: Flu kits are backordered, and labs are having problems getting them.

I have 2 friends (vax+boost) who have gotten it. Basically bad colds. Maybe this is the final wave that really helps immunize enough folks?

[Jolly]

Forget immunize. Forget herd immunity. Think common cold, which IMO, is the best we can hope for.
