Problem is its hard to determine & even tho the health advisory is at its best atm, its still very vague, got a cold atm usually put it down to change of weather & wouldnt bug the health service as been the hardline over the past few years, is to get on with it & see pharmacy for medicines for it. Now its the dread lurgy, someone sneezes with tissue & dispose lately people suddenly disperse from u with immediate presumsion of swine flu, now as the symptoms are same as normal flu/cold like, other than the fact of not been to mexico/us or contact as such again not aware within the general public.
So that causes panic & confusion within itself - other than media hype making it worse, does one with a cold or beginings of what would be normal flu not travelled or known contact [tho another hard bit when working with gen public as who has or hasnt] quarantine oneself - just in case or get on with it as normal advice - thats the confusing bit
