Posted by TheTruth at October 14, 2005 07:46 AMTwo percent, two percent... the richest two percent are gonna get a tax break on their tamiflu, and the trickle-down economics will then immunize the rest of our nation.

Posted by Mary at October 14, 2005 08:12 AMLast year during the flu shot shortage, an article came out stating the all of the Chicago Bears had gotten flu shots. The McCaskeys who own the Bears also own Blue Cross/Blue Shield. Go figure.
But if amusement is what is needed for this Friday, might I suggest:

It's mind-numbingly pleasurable.

Anyone catch that WaPo is actually calling the Plamegate scandal a scandal? I thought only us dems could have scandals as defined by the conservative media.
TGIF!

I think that's per bottle, and you need 3 bottles for an adult. Also, there's a backlog of tamiflu orders isn't there, which is why the US can't even get the doses to cover that 2%. Hopefully this will be a non-event, like Y2K.

Part-way down this report about European exposure to the H5N1 bird flu are the two grafs:
"The [British] government has ordered 14.6m doses of the antiviral drug Tamiflu.
This would be enough for 25% of the population - the proportion the World Health Organization predicts would be affected in a pandemic."
The British population is about 58 million, compared to the US population of 290 million.
Of course in the socialist hellhole that is the United Kingdom a course of treatment of Tamiflu will cost the downtrodden NHS-oppressed prole a whole ten bucks, assuming they don't qualify for free drug prescriptions (young, old, pregnant, chronically sick, unemployed etc. all qualify).

I would say that would go to the military (followed by politicians). How else would they quarantine the nation?
Joe, I think you're on to something there.
Posted by iamcoyote at October 14, 2005 12:49 PMBefore you plop down $99.95 for your very own flu vaccine check out the ways to catch the flu. If you don't plan on kissing any birds or playing with foul fecal matter, your chances of catching it are VERY small. Also the spread from human to human is even more miniscule (but possible). Check it out at the CDC website.
Posted by Cyber Sarge at October 14, 2005 01:27 PMbtw one of the doomy serious Dr chaps, that guy Osterholm says 98 out of 100 Americans will live through any flu outreak with ease - IF it occurs.
oh yeah, like why didn't you say that when you first opened yer mouth Doc.. jeeeeeeez...

Posted by Margot at October 14, 2005 04:37 PMTwo boys in Boston were playing baseball when one of them was attacked by a rabid Rottweiler. Thinking quickly, the other boy ripped a board off of a nearby fence, wedged it into the dog's collar and twisted it, breaking the dog's neck.
A newspaper reporter from the Boston Herald witnessed the incident and rushed over to interview the boy. The reporter began entering data into his laptop, beginning with the headline: "Brave Young Red Sox Fan Saves Friend From Jaws Of Vicious Animal."
"But I'm not a Red Sox fan," the little hero interjected.
"Sorry" replied the reporter. "But since we're in Boston, Mass, I just assumed you were."
Hitting the delete key, the reporter began: "Young liberal democrat Rescues Friend From Horrific Dog Attack."
"But I'm not a Democrat either," the boy responded.
The reporter said, "I assumed everybody in this state was either for the Red Sox or a Kennedy democrat. What team or person do you like?"
"I'm a Texas Ranger fan and I really like George W. Bush," the boy said.
Hitting the delete key, the reporter began again:
"Arrogant Little Conservative Stooge Kills Beloved Family Pet."
I don't think I got the intended message of the rabid dog story. Rather, it just sounds like a a vehicle for a lot of whinning to me. This is just more proof that bullies can dish it out but they can't take it. Besides, the plot is so implausible that it was obviously meant for an audience as stupid as the person who wrote it. You picked the wrong place to get sympathy.
Posted by OffTheFence at October 16, 2005 12:31 AMTo followers of the bird flu crisis:
Is bird flu really an issue that I need to put at the top of my personal list of events over which I should panic? I know the alarm and potential for a bird flu epedemic must have some grounds. It seems that it has been responsible for human suffering. But, before I invest my fear into yet another impending, unimaginably catastrophic disaster, I want to know that that it is worthy. I hear the media hype surrounding it, but don't see the governmental response to its reported seriousness that one would expect. Of course, this could be the response regardless and tells me nothing. I'm skeptical and a little lazy. Could someone just please tell me whether or not I need to panic? If I don't need to panic now, will you let me know if I should do so in the future?
Thanks
