Did anyone learn anything from Katrina? Are you waiting for the government to dole out a medicine that you can get for yourself? What is the shelf life for Tamiflu?

"Guess they didn't read the articles that said that Tamiflu didn't work on H51N."

dawn53, I believe you're referring to a story about a Vietnamese female who survived infection with a strain of H5N1 that showed resistance to Tamiflu.

sefarkas, you raise some good points. I have no idea of what is the shelf life. You have to trust the expiration date from an internet provider.

The labels say 1 or 2 years, but the actual shelf life is more like 10 or 20. They would give a 3 year shelf life to sodium chloride, despite the fact sea salt has been around for billions of years unchanged. Ok, except for the occasional neutrino absorption or proton decay...
