This insanity is out of control. Thanks to all the hype over a THEORETICAL flu THAT DOESN'T EVEN EXIST YET, and may never exist, our staff at our hospital that has been exposed to a real case of laboratory confirmed influenza can not get Tamiflu and has substitued ramantidine (which is NOT a proven prophylatic) I guess in hopes that it at least might help reduce the spread.

Enough with the BS already.

I just saw a headline on FOX calling it the "Superflu". I believe that's what Stephen King called his civilization killing flu in "The stand".

There is a vaccine for the ordinary flu. Why has your staff not done that for the regular flu ?

And correct me if I'm wrong here, but there's no evidence that Tamiflu will even do anything if Avian bird flu H5N1 makes the transition. Shrug.

Curious if anyone has an opinion on Carvacrol.
