Aha! This makes sense.
Does this mean all on the Deity sofa (half the forum now) have potentially been exposed? :/

No mate. The Deity sofa is an imaginery sofa made up by the people of these forums. It doesn't actually exist.

In all honesty, I have never had the Flu. Plenty of colds, but never Flu. Am I alone in this respect?

You will be aware of SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) from the
media coverage. SARS is a recently identified respiratory illness caused
by a virus that has originated from South East Asia and the Far East.
The risk to you is minimal. The University is taking appropriate
precautions. We do not have an influx of students from affected
countries at this time of year. We are following up and monitoring the
small number of students who have returned from affected countries
following the Easter break.
People returning from SARS affected areas are not a risk to others
unless they are showing symptoms of high fever with sore throat, dry
cough or breathing difficulties in the 10 days since their return. The
main way that SARS spreads is through droplet transmission when someone
sick with SARS coughs or sneezes droplets into the air and someone else
breathes them in. The incubation period for the virus is under 10 days.
Unlike other infections such as chickenpox, people are not infectious
unless they are unwell.
The following guidance is for anyone who has been abroad recently and
may have come in contact with people affected by SARS. If you develop
symptoms of high fever (over 38oC) and sore throat, dry cough or
breathing difficulties within 10 days of returning from affected areas
you are advised to stay in your home or flat and phone your GP, NHS
Direct (0845 4647), or the University's Medical Centre at Castle Street and seek medical advice. It is important that you
tell the Medical Centre about your recent travel abroad.
I am in regular contact with the Public Health Agency and the
University's Medical Centre at Castle Street. I will continue to
monitor the global and local situation and advise you and the University
accordingly.
