I read the links. So much blah blah about shortage of the liquid form and pharmacists unable to get adequate supplies of the liquid they would use to liquify a pill.
But the CDC article, near the end under the topic “what if my child can’t swallow pills” gave simple directions: dump a capsule into a tablespoon of chocolate syrup, mix, and have the patient drink all of it.
So in reality the shortage of liquid Tamiflu is not a problem at all except for those unable to dump a capsule into chocolate syrup and mix. Maybe our citizens can’t be trusted with such a complicated recipe.

Why do they need the liquid form?
For kids or those who can’t swallow a pill.

the liquid can be made from Tamiflu capsules by pharmacists, or even by parents at home... If you're not able to find a pharmacy equipped to make the liquid for you, the CDC has posted instructions for parents on how to make their own liquid Tamiflu out of the adult capsules.
Thanks Daffynition.

Korea Crud. Nasty green phlegm and congestion. Last for 48 hours typically.
Can be cured or controlled by Soju and Kimchi.

The other kink in this seems to be that if the pharm turns the pill into a liquid for you, your insurance [if you have it] doesn’t pay.
I would think that figuring out the ml for a child would be tricky. An adult, I wouldn’t care.

There’s a child-size Tamiflu for what that’s worth.

All of the pharmacies around here will compound Tamiflu from 75mg capsules. The commercial suspension (out of stock everywhere) is 12mg/ml, and the compounded version is 15mg/ml. Also, it seems that all of the lower strength capsules are out of stock as well; 75 mg is all that’s available.
I fear that Tamiflu will be depleted before Seasonal Flu starts in January....

Tamiflu is not without side effects.
Besides, people who get antibiotics that are PRESCRIBED many times don’t take them correctly. If Tamiflu went OTC, it will take an even shorter time for the flu viruses to become resistant....

CDC links are provided with the article.

Actually, Tamiflu is derived from the Chinese star anise pod.
