^Tamiflu and Relenza are only good within 1-2 days of the appearance of symptoms. After that 2 day window, it's just a waste of money.

i agree to this n this is wat doctors are telling us too. m going to work today and i was called at my home yesterday to be reminded with our facilty's policy in dealing with patients possibly having the flu like symptoms during triage.

ahak oi...plus ako ilong ga ping-ot pa sa pollen,ga luha ang mata ug uban pa, kaubo!

[vienzel]

oh really? how did you know that?.. do you have a reliable source?...according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention... within 4-5 days of illness

ask the doctors here pls...TAMIFLU and RELENZA, is wat is usually given with our seasonal flu and that is always the instruction given by doctors to patients.

i asked them too, one time even before swine flue emerged...why not all patients are given this medication and from that it was explained why!

that it wont work if symptoms have been noted more than 24-48hrs window period!

@vienzel? so u mean that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are not reliable? i think their statements are based on gathered facts..

when it comes to epidemics like this one, swine flu, the best is to be informed, yes, but also not to be swayed by this rumor or that rumor .. which will have adverse psychological effect on us all, mass hysteria, .. bisan gani simple colds ug allergy will be seen as suspect .. patay na! .. lisod kaayo ug mahulog sa ingon ani .. the best is to fortify one's immune system by nutritious food, vitamins, 30 minute good exercise daily, lots of liquids and the 7 or so, good rest .. bisan siguro ug magsige ta ug hugas hugas ug kamot pero low ang atong body resistence makaptan gihapon ta ug sakit ..

Guys, please beware of Swine Flu Spams.

=====================================
MANILA, Philippines--Software security firm Symantec warned users that spammers are taking advantage of the global outbreak of swine flu.

Symantec said in a statement that there has been an increase in spam activity and identified malicious codes in some of the email file attachments.

Most of the spam messages have been written to lure users to click on the file attachments, which are hidden as links to legitimate news sites or document attachments supposedly detailing swine flu.
