H5n1 and me

Personally I go with alternatives and stay away from the drug companies but if you are worried- go to your doctor and get a dose of Tamiflu to take with you. That is what all the European countries are stock piling to give their people if it hits. Of course the US is not laying in anywhere adequate stock piles. This stuff only works if you take it n the first hours of getting sick so if you have a supply with you all the better. <br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.tamiflu.com/">www.tamiflu.com/</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <p></p><i></i>

It's too late to go buy tamiflu but I can probably pick up the generic in China; who knows how good it is but if I need it, why not? Thanks again for the advice, will be back sometime next month...if there's anything going on behind the bamboo curtain with regards to this I'll let you all know. <p></p><i></i>

This is starting to look like a heads up crisis, imho! <br><br>It appears that the China Bird Flu situation is suddenly escalating by the hour as new reports come flooding in. <br>Go here for latest: <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&q=Bird+Flu&btnG=Search+News">news.google.com/news?hl=e...earch+News</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>I suspect your trip is business related and certainly hope your company has an extraction policy as it is looking like China may be put under international quarantine & you might have trouble getting out of there. <br><br>There were new rules about such matters just announced in the UN yesterday because of the situation now unfolding in China.

on one of the US's biggest debt enablers, brought about by a mysterious viral epidemic, following the suspicious deaths during the past four years of several dozen world-renowned microbiologists with particular expertise in recombinant DNA technology, Ebola and Sars-types infections?<br><br>My RI bells are ringin' ...<br>Hope it's just a false 'alarm'.<br>'Course, China has a helluva motive to keep isolated outbreaks hidden ... as does the beef industry (esp. US)W/R/T Mad Cow infections ... Why NOT test the US herd instead of removing the legal basis to do so, as the Ag Agency has effectively done?<br><br>Some mytererioso signs of economic-motivated CYA intrigue goin on -- public policy now under seige, hostage to a legacy of moral corruption, lies, cowardice and greed, betrayal of human rights and the principles of social justice by 'special interests'?<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

Oh brother,<br><br>I just spoke with my friend, Xiao Tong, who lives in Beijing, and we made plans to meet in Saipan in three weeks. She didn't mention anything.<br><br>Now, I wonder if she will be allowed into Saipan, you get your visa at the airport.<br><br>Hadn't heard about any of this, I thought it was in Vietnam.... <p></p><i></i>
