H1N1

This morning I received an email from my university regarding H1N1.
The email (in short) said that, if we have any flu symptoms we have to report ourselves online. The email said we do not need a medical note to confirm this.

HERE'S MY PROBLEM:

So many people can report a fake flu. I can go online right now, and say that I have the symptoms, and I cannot finish any of my assignments or write any of my upcoming tests. I feel that many people are going to be using this as their "get out of school for free" card.


At the beginning of the year, some of my classes spoke to us about the possible H1N1 pandemic that is supposed to hit in October. My professors discussed possible alternatives for assignments and exams. One of my professors said that the university will be shut down and everything will be put online.

So how can we prevent this (or something similar to this) from happening?

Well first we need to prevent the flu.
