[plug] [OT] Bird flu

[Ari Finander]

The only drug shown to be effective against this virus, Tamiflu, is available on prescription only. I don't know what she was offering to sell you, but it won't help against this new avian strain. SARS never concerned me, but this one does. I definitely could not survive such an infection at this point.
