From an internal email within Roche Pharma (The owner of Tamiflu):
Quote: As you may be aware, an outbreak of swine influenza (or swine flu) has occurred in Mexico and the U.S.A. The virus responsible appears to be a novel influenza A (H1N1) virus strain composed of gene segments of influenza viruses from swine, avian and human. It is the first time this quadruple genetic combination has been recognised in swine influenza A (H1N1) in the US and worldwide.
The World Health Organization (WHO) and U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have reported that the virus is sensitive to the two neuraminidase inhibitors Tamiflu (Roche) and Relenza (GSK), but not to the two older influenza antivirals of the M2 inhibitor class (amantidine and rimantidine).
...the Mexican and U.S. Governments have Tamiflu supplies available to assist in the management of this situation. Roche also holds significant global inventories of Tamiflu.
So the epidemic is being caused by a previously unseen chimera virus resistant to all but two antivirals distributed by two of the largest multinationals in the world, who conveniently possess stockpiles of the drug in strategic locations around the globe.
This definitely bears no similarity to the plot of any second-rate spy thriller.

Or, you could pop an Advil and be just as prepared as someone who took Tamiflu.
Or, you could just sleep it off, like normal people who have the flu.
God, I'm pretty sure more people died of infected pimples than they did of this swine flu in the same period, except nobody is outlawing pimples. Perspective, people. Perspective.

Latest info is that the virus is becoming less effective as it spreads. The latest suspected cases are showing mild cold like symptoms.
The high death rate in young adults is believed to be caused by a "Cytokine storm" which is an overreaction by healthy immune systems leading to tissue damage and organ failure.

Originally by: Benilopax Edited by: Benilopax on 29/04/2009 00:42:52 One of the many doomsday scenarios we are told about has become a little bit more likely today. The World Health Organisation are very concerned with this outbreak.
But there are some good signs that it may not be too deadly. However worst effected are the young and healthy.

can we please stop giving a rat ass about this. you are literally hundreds of times more likely to die in a car accident then you are from any strain of flu.
But how many of you actually fear death by road carnage tomorrow? I suspect it's none however you will actually be afraid of a this strain of flu that has yet to kill anyone outside of Mexico

Hrm, some people say "Be smart. Be prepared."
Others say, "Nothing to see here folks move along."
I make up my own mind. So I look, watch, and read.
I read that Mexico City, the place where swine flu started, has closed public events( church masses, movies, schools ), and people dieing from this.
I read some countries have banned flights to Mexico City.
I read the USA Center for Disease Control has increased its alert status and are moving anti-viral meds to the states.
I read about the similarities of the Swine Flu compared to the Spainish Flu of 1918 that killed 50mil to 100mil people. ( ie. they both killed by causing the immune system to overreact, fill the lungs with fluid and drown the person in their own mucous, attacks the healthy )
I read that this thing is easliy transmitted.
Hrm... I'm not paranoid. I ignored the bird flu. I ignored the staph infections that eat you alive.
What do I do as a normal, non-panicky adult, who is smart enough to save for a rainy day?
How to survive hard times
I prepare.

Yes we are at level 5, Pandemic is imminent.
It's not level 6 yet by it is best to keep an eye on the news.
Still no deaths outside Mexico (except a mexican crossing the border) which is a good sign. -----------------------------------

I plan on taking XKCD's advise. Flu is dangerous in young adults because a healthy immune system overreacts to the flu. So all you need to do is spend the next few months drunk and sleep deprived. You'll be right as rain. ____________________

So about 40,000 people die of the flu each year in North America.
How is this flu more special then the other ones?
It isn't. Conspiracy theory here, but the media, mostly newspapers, have been crying about dropping revenues for months. Connect the dots eh?
