Yes, I have asthma and chronic bronchitis from Histoplasmosis as a teen working in my Dad’s hay barn. I also have one young child in the home, so a pediatric course of therapy is on hand as well. Besides being the country doc, was also the county health authority for years and sat through endless committee meetings after 9/11 on bio-terrorism plans. I keep a course of Cipro on hand too. That’s in addition to 10,000 rounds of ammo, food stocks, and water purification equipment. We live in a pass-through county for hurricaine evacaution and are on our own if the big storm hits the Texas coast again.

Thanks for the reply. I was asking, as I’ve heard of quite a few people put on Tamiflu that are not in the high risk category. That’s worrisome, as there is a strain identified as Tamiflu-resistant (I believe it’s in Canada).

I’m immunosuppressed (kidney transplant), so I would need Tamiflu if infected (I’m a RN in a Peds clinic, and also work in a Children’s Hospital). So far so good. My teen-aged son had a flu like illness a few weeks ago, and I escaped it.
