I look forward to the day when the standard practice is to test for every common respiratory pathogen at once when someone has cold/flu symptoms. The technology exists now for personalized, data-driven medicine to take off. I know someone who works for a company who produces such tests at the same cost as a single test today, but often insurance companies and providers don't know how to bill for them, so you see stories in the news about "irresponsible doctors who should never have ordered 20 tests" that were really a single test billed incorrectly.
