Got the flu?

If you have the sniffles, maybe a touch of fever and a hint of a cough, be prepared to be screened for Swine Influenza (SI) or H1N1 if you are going to a hospital in Seoul. If you go to... oh let's say Severance Hospital for example, be prepared to be taken to the 'Screening Room', no that is not a weekly programme dedicated to the latest movies but where they keep all flu patients for testing for SI.

General population include those who are very ill with the flu so be prepared to bring a mask with you. It will be as exciting as watching bread rise and will likely taken twice the time! Meanwhile, even if you didn't have a flu before you entered, you will likely take it home as a souvenir.
