Text Summary
Word from the Government is that we are in the full swing of this season’s influenza epidemic. The Flu vaccine for this year was wide of the mark leaving those who did receive the vaccine to have only 40% protection, not the 60 to 70 % we have come to expect.

All is not lost, however. Do you recall my recommendation that you retain a 5 day supply of Tamiflu in the refrigerator to enable you to treat the bird flu (Avian Flu) early and hopefully successfully? This is working splendidly on this year’s flu.

Go to the refrigerator, find the Tamiflu and start it at the first sign of this year’s flu. Use it up because we will not be likely to have bird flu back sooner than another 50 to 75 years.
