Hello J is on a distinguished road
Yup, it's less of a killer than normal flu so what is the point giving it out?

Can you imagine if we gave it out to everyone then in 2 months time got an outbreak of bird flu? We'd be in the sh*t then... People would really have something to moan about then.
The thing is, Tamiflu is in good supply due to the Bird Flu scare, the truth is the NHS & Gov prepared for Bird flu a good few years before we even heard of the risk..! So why would they want to rid themselves of the stock when it still will be a risk.. ?

The ones who are being given Tamiflu are the people most at risk, basically the normal at risk flu people, elderly, immunity supressed, asthmatics, young children etc.
