Cute graphic. Here's a hint for when Tamiflu runs out. Tamiflu is made from an Asian plant called anise. Anise is also used in a lot of high class confectionaries, notably the good black licorice. It is also used in the better root beer extracts.

Those of us who have spent anytime in Japan or certain other northeast Asian countries know this because root beer and black licorice are NOT popular with the natives. Their normal reaction is "tastes like medicine." Read your ingredient labels carefully when you buy. If anise is listed among the first ingredients listed then buy it.
