Do you have H1N1 Swine Flu?
From The Consumerist:
So, if you aren't feeling well, start there.

Do you have H1N1 flu? Probably! Aaaugghh! But before you haul your feverish butt to a clinic or a doctor, consider taking this free online flu self-assessment test from Emory University...
If you do have symptoms of the flu, it's pointless to sit at home trying to wait it out. And if you don't, this is a cheap way to put your mind at ease so you can get some rest.

Tried that out for someone else.. told it not to share/use the answers since we were pretty much testing it out (they didnt have the flu). Basically answered the opposite of what the CDC says should indicate you ahve H1N1... the thing said he most likely had it and should go to a doctor very quickly!
in other words, it pretty much disagrees with what the CDC says.. so I would say it is maybe 50% accurate at best
Same as everything else.
Basically, if you have any symptoms that you would normally expect this time of year.. you MAY have it :D
I will probably get vaccinated once they decide that I fit a profile that says I can get vaccinated.

^^ you positive that it was swine flu? if so you're damn lucky.. many dont survive it and require life support and some strong antibiotics, and many victims of these are young and healthy that have never been sick in their life..
