Unfortunately, it is really difficult to distinguish swine flu from so many other common ailments. My brother's 7 year old daughter was recently 'diagnosed' with swine flu in Mill Hill, London. Was given tamiflu and kept home for some time. I'm not convinced it was but I guess to an extent better safe than sorry.
Now my other brother has flown to Thailand as his 6 year old daughter has been hospitalised with 'exceptionally high' temperature and other flu-like symptoms.
The winter months will throw up so many casualties for sure.
