b) not have tons and tons of quotes to wade through just to get to a one or two word comment.
Think of it as keeping the place tidy and pertinent :)

But as I understand, lots of the infected have mild symptoms.

And that's the thing.
Mrs EEVblog had a mild sniffle the other week the same time Sagan had one. You don't call the virus hotline for that.
If I got a runny nose I wouldn't either, I'd just do my best to ensure no one else got it from me.
I'd likely have to have real symptoms like a fever (don't recall ever having a fever for the flu) or a cough (I usually get that post a bad flu) before I called the hotline or my doctor.

I strongly suspect I had that swine flu that went around several years ago. I had a high fever and felt awful for a few days, however it didn't last as long as other times I've had the flu, it kinda hit hard and heavy and burned out fast. I didn't go to the doctor, I felt terrible, going out was the last thing I wanted to do. I spent the whole time in bed aside from the bare minimum like feeding myself and the cat. I don't think there's anything a doctor could have done.

I only had two points, and you didn't quote the part you commented on. The phone diagnosis would be primarily for screening, for other things than what you are probably thinking. The US, who's flag James flys, is lacking test kits anyway.

I reckon I did, you know. (Well, clearly, you don't but I certainly do.)
Blimey, you couldn't make this stuff up :)
