If the Rite Aid test for viral nucleic acid, that is more reliable. Get vaccinated.

Regard the positive test as accurate. Rest,drink fluids and treat flu like symptoms. Discuss having a flu vaccine, avoid contact with others per CDC guidelines. Watch for signs of difficulty breathing. A virtual consult with Healthtap is available.
