"We have surgical masks and latex gloves as a part of our "kit." Antibiotics too."

Ditto. Does Tamiflu have any effect on the MERS virus?

Good afternoon. I hope you are doing well.

You write some good editorials btw.

Does Tamiflu have any effect on the MERS virus?

As you probably know I am not a doctor or pathologist. So I don't know. Although, I thought that MERS was a bacteria.

Maybe some knowledgeable FReepers will weight in...

“Does Tamiflu have any effect on the MERS virus?”

No. There is no medicine for this. Those with it in a hospital are just getting meds to help control the symptoms. Like an anti-diarrheal to help control that, oxygen if the patient is having trouble breathing. Liquid food by tube to the stomach if regular food won’t stay down. It is up to the patient’s body to be able to fight this and if that doesn’t happen, the patient dies.
