Swine Flu self-assessment
Swine flu symptoms are similar to the common cold, and the seasonal flu, to the average person.
In addition, a mild case of the swine flu will not need medical attention. In some people, however, serious symptoms arise, which require a physician's care.
Anyone experiencing these symptoms should seek medical attention.

If you're not sure whether or not the doctor's office or ongoing bedrest is the best choice, take the online Swine Flu self-assessment offered by Microsoft and Emory University.
This quiz is powered by expert system programming, using a database of common symptoms and potential complications to determine the best questions to ask each user.
By answering questions, such as how high of a fever has been experienced, and how long the user has felt ill, the program is able to judge the severity of the illness and make a recommendation.
