I blame both Lucas and Microsoft, but Apple will make the prophet. ;)

769033 2009-04-30 01:46:00 Here's a good article about the origins of the "swine flu" This is not as new as the media would have you believe..

769034 2009-04-30 02:06:00 The good news is that Tamiflu seems to work against this strain of the flu so there is a cure!
There's no cure - because all Flu infections are caused by virii and you can't really kill a dead thing. Tamiflu is only helping you get over it quicker - like when you take OTC cold medication to feel a bit better.

769037 2009-04-30 03:11:00 My doc told me he has patiently told patients that anti biotics dont cure a viral infection, nothing will cure a virus.
The virus has to to run its course although the effects can be relieved
After carefully explaining the differences between bacteria and viruses they still ask for a prescription of anti biotics.
If I was a doctor I would grab them by the neck and rough them up a bit.

769038 2009-04-30 03:26:00 thats right... its no different than chicken pox. ya get is , get rather sick and wait for your body to deal with it. No cure for the common cold.

Just take cold and flu to make the transition easier.
