I am convinced that the Pandemic is real and that there is a lot of information being held back by the gov, media etc. (The biggest coverup, I believe, concerns the Obama trip to Mexico. I am convinced that many of the Americans on the trip were unknowingly infected and unknowingly infected dozens of others in the DC area, and that a coverup is in progresss on that issue.)

I also believe it is always wise to have good stocks of food, meds and other necessities on hand for _any_ unforeseen event.

That said, I am not persuaded that the flu medications are that effective in many cases and would encourage folks to consult with a doctor before taking them.

My relative was adamant that this flu H1N1 was responding to tamiflu.

You should not take it until you have been exposed or within 48 hrs from the first onset of symptoms.

Per our doctor: If you have been exposed, you take one dose a day for 10 days. If you are showing symptoms you MUST start a double dose within 48 hrs and you must continue double dosage for 5 days.

Since the antivirals are available by prescription only, you don't have much choice.

Unless you meant a vaccine, in which case, there isn't one for this virus, and won't be until at least the fall. Still that could work out, at for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, since the flu typically kind of goes dormant, or at least to a much lower level of activity, during the summer.
