I think the swab is for neuraminidase, which doesn't give the H subtype (or if it is Fujian), so you know if you have the flu, but not if you have Fujian.

Thanks, that confirms what I was thinking. To me, it means we won't know what kind of flu we're dealing with when it hits the hospitals here. I'm off this week, but there weren't any flu cases on my unit when I went home last Sunday night.

I'm going to check that fluwatch.com site now.
