Tamiflu fixes it (swineflu)
Here in new Zealand, the students are being watched long with their teacher. Our government stocked up on "tamiflu" during the birdflu scare, and this kills off the virus, so I cant see why there is so much fuss, just take a pill and your better.

1. 'just take a pill and your (sic) better' - it's not as simple as that.
Tamiflu is not a cure, although it will mitigate the illness.

4. The pill has to be given early and has to be accessible - right now we have a few left overs
from the season. A state of emergency means the government can increase the stock and stock pile it near cities.
