Ive never seen so much bull in one thread - well actually I have, but this is GFY.
The Virilent strain of H5N1 has been around since 1870?
Tamiflu dosnt work?
Surgical masks dont work?
The form of H5N1 we are concerned with was first detected in 1997.
Tamiflu is effective in some/most cases, a couple of people have still died after taking Tamiflu. Its not clear if that is because they had a 'new' strain or if they didnt get the drug in time - it has to be taken within 48 hours of the onset of symtems. Very few drugs are 100% effective. Should we stop taking antibiotics because people have died even after taking them?
Masks offer some but not 100% protection.
