How were they able to determine that the person on the plane with flu symptoms didn’t have H1N1? My understanding from our local news here in Orlando is that it takes a couple of days to get the test results back. At least that is what they are saying about the 3 possible cases here.....

IIrc, the FDA just approved a new swab test for the H1 variants which gives results in an hour or so. The old swab tests took about 4 hours. A full test to see what type of flu it is, rather than just a screening test, takes longer.

My gut instincts tell me that they are purposefully lying about it because they don't want to contain it in any way. There is no way they could have tested and ruled out the two with symptoms, and there darned sure isn't any way they can say the rest haven't been exposed. Remember, we're dealing with the largest body of liars ever assembled in government, and they need crisis to further their agenda. So what if a million or two have to die.

O’Reilly just had a doctor on that said there is a rapid test for it; however she also said the regular test still needs to be done- whether the rapid test is positive or negative. She didn’t come out and say the rapid test was not reliable, but she hemed and hawed around about it. So your question is very valid- how do they know so soon? If they are using a rapid test how reliable is it?
