The Mexican Swine Flu can be easily prevented (and treated) by Tamiflu or Relenza. It is highly airborne infectious and has perhaps a 2 day incubation. This young lad in New York just recovered with no problems.

Yes, it is most deadly on the 25-44 population, young strapping lads like this one, have a better rate of recovery. Plus we're talking about only a 6%-8% mortality rate in Mexico in the virus' current form, however 6%-8% is very, very high when then normal mortality rates for influenza is 0.1%. And the 1918 Spanish Flu outbreak had a range of 2%-20%. Also a report from "Recombinomics," in March of this year showed that this year's flu (H1N1) flu was highly Tamiflu (and Relenza) Resistant and Vaccine Failures.

What about the reports that it is resistant to Tamiflu treatment?

What I remember reading from the CDC is that Tamiflu SEEMS to be treating it, but that there were indeed some Mexican healthcare workers who had received either the Tamiflu vaccination, or were treated with it that were NOT responsive to either of those medications — note I realize this may not be typical AT ALL — however, the apparent ‘mildness’ so far exhibited in the US vs. Mexico — how does one account for that?
