I guess I should go tell the 30 patients waiting for a bed in a hospital that is already full to just go home.
Not only is tamiflu in short supply, but flu test kits are almost completely depleted. The CDC suggested that if anyone is presenting with Flu to start treating before the slower methods of treating them confirm the virus.
It is nice to think of everything as a conspiracy, but the flu is real. We are almost to the peak. If you REALLY have the flu, you should be under a doctor’s care—even if it is not going kill you.
It's not hype.
It's an outright lie.
I guess that the Pandemic of 1918 and the Hong Kong flu escaped their attention.
