Tamiflu will remain as the the treatment of choice for the flu. The scary part of this is that 3 of the 4 patients died who had the resistant flu. CDC is investigating.

I went to the hospital on Thursday and was seen pretty much straight away because I was having chest pains and they take that very seriously no matter what age you are. I was put in a cubicle and put on mains oxygen because my small canister wasn't going to last that long, my sats were a bit low (95-96) even with the oxygen so they thought that maybe I was having an asthma attack and it had just presented...
