Not so idiotic Judy
Tamiflu can be used as a prophylactic, and indeed, that's what the govt
intends to do with its 4m-packet stockpile. If birdflu does break out in a
big way, Tamiflu will be reserved for 1 million unnamed "essential service"
workers and will last almost six weeks with them taking one pill a day. So,
if you're going to get bird flu, get it early, because there won't be any
anti virals left after six weeks of a breakout.
Good health

Subject: 'Bird flu' checks stepped up
Andrew and John,
Many thanks for correcting my idiotic error - I wondered whether it would be
corrected and am glad that it has been
When I woke up this morning it suddenly struck me that I'd very stupidly
written vaccines instead of anti-viral medications! A 'senior moment' of
major proportions! I was, and am, very embarrassed, especially as I'm well
aware that the proprietary anti-viral medicines I mentioned are to be taken
as soon as possible once flu symptoms show up i.e. are of use only for
people who already have flu.
Apologies to all,
Judy
