For one, most physicians are not prescribing Tamiflu unless the patient is serologically proven to have mutant H1N1 flu. There are only about 100 million courses of Tamiflu in the US, half on pharmacy shelves and half in stockpile at the CDC. If everyone with the sniffles gets Tamiflu, there won’t be enough to treat the really sick people.
Cept if they wait too long, the people will die... if this gets bad this fall or next year, this will be Obama’s Katrina X 1000.
