If it's any comfort, I've not read any report where Tamiflu is credited with saving anyones life.
I realize that. It's just that I find it rather telling when I read on the "official documents" that the people in charge of "handing out the cookies" have placed themselves at the front of the line.
I'm also less than pleased with the way they disclose -- yet pussyfoot around -- the fact that they are planning on internal travel restrictions and other trappings of martial law.
For myself, I am planning on relying on home-made Colloidal Silver, which, if it manages to get in contact with the virus, will kill it, period. (It kills everything "microorganismesque", even that wispy mold/fungus/damp-off stuff that will infest plants, i.e. tomato seedlings when they are in the early stages of germination in peat pellets in a covered tray (as well as other stages of growth, but that seems the most prevalent). I spray it on the stuff, and the next day it was as if it was never there. Just amazing to watch! And, of course, totally harmless to the plants. It's essentially inert in that regard.)
I am thinking of rigging up a Rube Goldberg nebulizing ventilator by using my wife's CPAP machine and an ultrasonic vaporizer. I figure that if an ultrasonic vaporizer will put calcium and other minerals into the mist (which it does, judging by the white dust it creates when in use), then it should have no problems putting the Silver portion of the CS "water" into the mist -- and then, the CPAP machine should (hopefully) push it down into the lungs.
Now, to find that vaporizer, and see if it still works... (I can't remember if we replaced it with a "boiler" type because of that fershluggener mineral dust, or, it it was because it gave up the ghost. I do know that I never throw anything away. :)
