A caller to Pat Gray's show earlier this week (which I know Gunner heard) said this exact same thing - that Tamiflu doesn't do squat with regard to bird flu.

Makes me wonder how she knew.

Also makes me wonder if I should take a flu shot this season, since a) it always makes me sick, and b) it sounds like it won't prevent bird flu anyway.

And I wonder (still I wonder) who'll stop the rain.

Tamiflu doesn't do squat with regard to bird flu.

There are some days when I actually appreciate my mutant abilities.

The bottom line is that if H5N1 jumps to consistent human to human transmission, we're all in serious jeopardy for the first year while a vaccine is being developed. It's been known for several months that Tamiflu will not be effective against that strain.

I'm not sure there's much we can do about it in modern society. Eliminating contact with other people and living in isolation isn't even remotely an option anymore.

Nevermind that. I wonder who, who, who wrote the book of love?
