@Sunshine1239 ahhh swine flu. I worked in a pharmacy at the time, and so many people came in to collect their tablets from phone consultations saying yep I've got it and coughing everywhere. None of us caught it though, wondering if people phoned with the symptoms so they would have tabs in just in case as they ran low at one point, or whether we were all lucky! Anyway, to avoid too much thread drift, I don't remember the same level of panic?
@BloomedAgain an interesting concept, not sure if it's feasible but would be ideal if it was for business continuity etc. The clinical advisors tend to listen in to calls from others though, and offer clinical advice when required, I'm not sure how tricky it would be to put in place the telephony infastructure for that in people's homes. The content is also protected by data laws due to being of a personal nature, so in an uncontrolled environment and with an array of different devices not sure if it will comply. If this was due to be extremely protracted then the investment might be worthwhile, but it's a huge undertaking and I'd be surprised.
