I never knew Tamiflu was a popular drug. I would have guessed cocaine.

So is this the one that is going to kill us all? Or is that EEE, West Nile, SARS, bird flu, swine flu, Hanta, dengue, Asian flu, Type A, B, X, HPV? I have an awful time keeping track of what to be deathly afraid of. I survived chicken pox, measles and mumps as a youngster but I’m wicked scared now.

No this is the drug that seasonal influenza A had not shown any appreciable resistance to prior to this flu season, IIRC.

drugs can not cure everything.....if we let our bodies have a little time, some nutrition, some rest, our bodies can actually take care of itself without endless antibiotics, antivirals, cough suppressants, decongestants, antihistamines, sleep aides, etc etc....

Bound to happen.

You kill off the non resistant bugs, the one that is resistant is left.

That, and India is having a lot of problems with bird flu right now.
