Understanding the Flu and H1N1
What are the symptoms of "influenza-like illness" (ILI) that everyone keeps talking about?
Are you trying to decide whether that cough and on-again/off-again fever you have are something you should see your doctor about?
Are you debating whether you should go to a crowded Emergency Room (and possibly wait for hours) to see if you have swine flu?
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could determine whether a visit to the doctor is necessary, without ever leaving the comfort of your own home.
Microsoft has launched an interactive Web site, H1N1 Response Center, that will help determine just that. Using an assessment tool licensed by Emory University, the Web site aims to help consumers’ determine whether or not their symptoms are consistent with the H1N1 virus and if they should seek medical help.
