Don’t Bother Stocking Up on Tamiflu During the Global Depression
Resistant versions of Influenza are now the norm and not the exception. Drugs created to combat the flue, seem to have actually made the ‘flu’ (influenza Viruses) stronger. This year almost all strains of the Flu are resistant to the treatments available. All those stockpiles of drugs created to fight a possible pandemic like the one seen just over 09 years ago that killed about one third of the people in the Western world are probably junk.
The first in-depth analysis of Tamiflu resistance during last year’s flu season found that about 12% of people with one of the three strains that caused the most illness, influenza A/H1N1, were infected with resistant viruses. One in five of last year’s patients caught the strain, doctors reported Monday. This year, Tamiflu resistance in that class of viruses has reached almost 100%, turning the tables on a drug designed to defeat resistance. "They’re the most common viruses circulating this year," says flu expert William Schaffner of Vanderbilt University. "There are calls coming in from all over the country to infectious-disease doctors and public health specialists asking them how to proceed.

Your best bet is to try and find ways to keep distant from population centers and people that might be exposed to them. This is a tactic right out of the 1800’s, but currently modern science has done just enough to make things worse and pushed are safety net back over a hundred years. The drugs that have been created so far have temporarily helped people heal and recover, but in the long run have worked like steroids for viruses making them stronger, while humans on the whole are now weaker almost crippled by our reliance on drugs that no longer work.
