Hmmmm.

A virus that combines human, swine, and avian genes, and just happens to be immune to the #1 antiviral.

What are the odds?

Sounds like it’s geneticly modified and put together like a Frankenstein’s Monster. Wonder if the Rooskies are up to no good as always. Probably emboldened now that they know Barry wont do anything to protect America from her enemies.

Different flu. Look at the article date. This was the flu circulating the US earlier this year.

I think this article is referring to the regular flu, the dominate flu, not the swine flu.

HOWEVER, if a person contracts both viruses, they can combine to speed the resistance of the swine flu and make a deadlier bug.

I’m starting to think that it might be better to catch this bug early before it mutates into something worse or develops resistance to the antivirals.

Not the same H1N1 as mexiflu.

The dominant strain circulating this winter is resistant to Tamiflu, that has been known for months. The last official statements I have received on swine flu (just this AM) state it IS sensitive to Tamiflu. Someone has their definitions mixed up.
