I would imagine (but am too lazy to google it)
...that GPs in Oz have all been instructed to ask the question as a matter of course hence the somewhat daftish question.

On the other hand, if you buy some pork sausages or a pork chop at the shops and it's 50% pork, 50% oseltamivir (Tamiflu)? May day.

Also: from a symptomatic point of view, you might find benefit to be had from taking a couple of paracetomol (assuming no sensitivity?) to ease the symptoms of runny nose, sore throat etc.

EDIT: finally - apple strudel ftw
