Online H1N1 Self Exam

Think you might have the Swine Flu? You can find out online.
A new web site has been launched by Microsoft Corp. and Emory Univeristy providing users with a H1N1 Self-Assessment test.
The web site is the H1N1 Response Center. It is designed to help people decide what to do if they are worried that they or someone they love has symptoms of the flu, the site offers consumers a self-assessment tool licensed from Emory. The tool helps individuals determine whether the symptoms they have could be caused by the flu virus, whether their illness is severe enough to warrant immediate medical attention, and whether they are at increased risk for developing severe disease. The site also offers practical advice on what to do.With the current H1N1 flu pandemic underway, public health officials are concerned that critical health care resources could be stretched thin if everyone with the flu symptoms rushes to the nearest ER or doctor's office to determine what to do.
