The mortality rate in Mexico was so far ~5% among healthy young people. Fortunately, the virus is known to be susceptible to oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and we can expect the government to help out if there are shortages of the medication. Just to be safe, you might want to get some yourself. It’s prescription-only in the US but freely available in Tijuana. Get some now before border pharmacies jack up prices.[/quote]
Horsepiss.
I work at a Children’s Hospital and have yet to see one normal, healthy, kid die from the swine flu this year. A few got pretty bad, but they all made it through.
And Tamiflu doesn’t do jack except make you feel worse. The side effects are particularly gnarly too (IIRC).
Trust the drug pushers. They’ll never steer you wrong. /snark
