LIR: Tamiflu. loosi and I disagree on this one. I think if it helps people recover faster and thus spread flu around less, it should be prescribed....

besides, why should I be sick 7 or 8 days when I could be for only 4 or 5 and the symptoms are less severe

bird flu will become immune to it at some point anyway so hoarding it doesn't make sense (to me)

  - this is like burning up all the gasoline just to get fuel cells faster. -- nm - Reagen Dec 19, 11:37 1
    - i don't think that analogy is the same -- nm - zork Dec 19, 11:41
  - so why speed it up? at least buy time to develop more drugs. -- nm - loosilu Dec 19, 11:35 2
    - so why have it in the first place if it won't get used? -- nm - zork Dec 19, 11:39 1
      - because it's the ONLY MEDICINE that works against bird flu. -- nm - loosilu Dec 19, 11:43
