Not much.... As an aside, you should see the half comical, half hysterical and not useful at all way of screening for swine flu at JKIA. When you get to customs, you bump into a bunch of people milling about, filling forms on the floor, or using the walls as a writing surface. These poor souls are squinting at forms photocopied to death and illegibility (I presume there's a toner scarcity). So you being a good person, you get your form from a health official who's shouting, has a mask covering her mouth but her nose is exposed and is doing everything in her power to be frightful. In calculus-speak as her audio output increases, the more convinced you are that she's a banshee. Anyway, you look for your spot in the milling crowd to sit, practice the arcane arts of esotropia/strabismus and finally fill the form. The questions are - Name - DOB - Physical address - Postal address - Phone - Are you suffering from fever(NO),coughing(HELL NO), joint paints (The cabin was cramped)... etc Of course am not going to say Yes to any of the above. I mean, agreeing to any of these might cause a stampede and I definitely do not want blood on my hands. So off you go to customs, get your passport stamped and give the passport ctrl officer the form whereupon the kindly lady tells you that you were supposed to give the form to the health officials back there. (Oh! So I could have just walked out... How silly of me for being a conformist). Anyway, Amble back to the HO, give the guy a form he doesn't look at, he rips my (?counterfoil?) part of it using his hands and gives it to me. I walk out free...
That's the swine flu screening going on.
If it was up to me? I'd - Get 20-30 digital thermometers, - Have 6 HO's stand 3 layers deep - As you get your passport stamped, get a temp reading - 2 reserves sterilize the used thermometers. - If you have a fever, go to a quarantine section for further tests
