GP just called and we have finally arranged to pick up a prescription. A co-conspirator also emailed to very generously offer his private Tamiflu drugs stash.
Guido feels a bit drowsy and feverish too, though it could be just the Pimms. Will let you know…

“Er, not really, Ron”.
Flat – No Positions +38.2%
As of 26 Mar 2010
Guido, you get you and your family securely healthy and repose on the weekend because on Monday we demand the anti-Stalinist Brown juggernaut to continue as an unstemmed torrent.
What a fucking liberty!
Did swine flu start on the farmy-farm?
Brown’s curse STRIKES AGAIN!!!
Murray dumped out of Wimbledon! Congratulations on a gutsy Game Roddick.
That Scottish twat (Brown) should learn to keep his mouth fucking SHUT!
What a complete fuckwit. Considering he has a child of his (turkey baster) own, he looks like a fish out of water. He can not interact with children let alone adults.
You’ve got to admit it’s a better than the infamous expenses video.
Getting swine flu can be a bit of a pig, apparently :-)
No,silly ! It originated in America.
Only under a Labour government would Tamiflu be available. The Tories would have bought no Tamiflu whatsoever and left the whole country at risk of complete annihilation.
Nob off Charles!
Are you stupid?
small winky you are a prize bell end
Yeah
Wacko Jocko and his Government of all the no talent prepared for this.
Please tell me your postings are a spoof?
I warn you now, a potential Mrs Beast is a Dr
One word from her and you are sectioned, and fucking rightly so
Only under a Labour government would the media cause ‘panic and alarm’.
By coincidence, the governmnet’s ‘containment’ pronouncement followed a media report by health officials of only around 860 confirmed cases in Great Britain.
The vast multitudes ill with ‘seasonal flu’ prior to and post Christmas, for which no profit making pharmaceutical is prescribed, was not covered by the media – despite hospitals being stretched to breaking point dealing with secondary chest infections, pneumonia and death in the elderly.
Of the 66 000 cases Brown’s lot comes out with the UK having 166% of them.
Statistics is not the strong point of them government.
So do you have any facts to back this up then or is it just a pointless broad sweeping statement by an arsehole?
Maybe you should look at cross party voting records on disease control funding just a thought…
Smallwidge :EAT SHIT AND DIE !
Only Newliars would take full stock rather than staged delivery on a product with a 6 month shelf life.
Only a NuLiebour knobend would consider making a political statement out of this outbreak.
If Tamiflu is so readily available, Charles, why couldn’t Guido get some for his little daughter? You really do talk out of your arse sometimes.
All the time.
The guys family is ill and you are making political points?
Agreed – SmallWidget you’re an ass.
Get well Guido. All the best for your family.
And for the political point – I have yet to hear in PMQ’s, one question from Conservatives asking why you’ve bought Tamiflu – and suggested you shouldn’t. You wouldn’t be lying would you?
Like Gordo – like Nu Labour – Dishonest as the day is long!
I want to hurt you chuck!
Now I know you are a wind-up merchant!
Hope Little Miss Guido recovers soonest.
Yes – I hope so too.
Pleased to hear you got the medication Mr F. Hope you & the family have a peaceful weekend.
What you really need is several pints from the House of commons bar.
Or are they on holiday at the moment?
would that be the tamiflu produced by Gilead that donald rumsfeld is the CEO of? Hmmm
No that’s a balm…
No that’s napalm.
no its Nabalm
I believe your suspicions. Let’s meet in those shrubs across the road to explore it further.
what does someone suspecting foul play in the Pharma industry and this wild global hysteria suurounding a mild form of flu have to do with you being a rampant homosexual?
Hey! is that deceitful, libellous wanker styling himself with a parody of our name the first to comment?
Look, wanker we no longer stock porn mags…in view of kiddie products.
Agree with WH Smugg above. Rest up ol’ son.
I will quote you a man ‘responsible for Tamiflu distribution for the NHS in London’ who has just now been on BBC News, all wild-eyed and manic looking, relaying the information I put up earlier on Swine flu 1… about all the UK being in the treatment phase, and no testing needed, and Tamiflu now to be given out straightforwardly by phone diagnosis of symptoms, easily available from a collection point with a docket number…
And then I read some of the people’s comments who had tried this, and had been fobbed off with complex questionnaires or denial that they could have the bug despite having all the symptoms of it etc…
I fear there may be a pretendy-wishful-thinking network of supply out there
and Liam Donaldson and co may be talking pie in the sky.
Get better soon Miss Fawkes
We live in a large town of over 160,000 inhabitants. There’s only ONE pharmacist in the whole area (much of it semi-rural) who handles the Tamiflu prescriptions. And the staff are pig-ignorant and utterly vile.
It’s also in an out-of-the-way part of town with bugger-all public transport after 6pm. so, whilst it is true that -in theory- Tamiflu is available, the really of being able to get it is somewhat different.
Oops! That was reality!
all those NHS managers have to do something…so get the punters to fill in form 2008/1/HB/SWF/4c c (in triplicate) signed by a Minister of Religion, 2 GPs and a person of good standing in the local community and then you can have an appointment within 14 days to discuss the possible allocation of HNS Resources (drugs) to you after appropriate assessment, counselling and evaluation, if you are still alive and able to get to / from the distribution centre in Lancashire
It’s a bit late to use Tamiflu on your child, but you might like to take some. (Only early use works.)
So they only dish it out the cure when its too late? Typical Labour.
Quite. Like clamping down on the credit-card companies 10 years too late.
Are you a real doctor?
I was under the impression that it could reduce the amount of virus one is giving off too.
And would you like the government to go round to Guido’s house to check his children before they look like they’ve got flu?
Not a real doctor..are your mad
Doctor Mick trained at the NewLabour ‘Tony Blair Schadenfreude Institute’ alongside such medical luminaries as
Dr Foxx
Dr and the medics
Dr Frankenstein
Dr Hook
Dr Who
Dr Zeus
Dr Hibert
and Dr Nick
ask him to show you his tounge if you don’t believe it.
No and I’m not a real Mick either.
Put it this way… I went to Berkeley.
You have to start taking it within the first 48 hours. Or it is useless.
And as the Swine Flu helpine is crap, NHS Direct running at a delay of 4 to 6 hours to calling you back for a triage operator to speak to you, never mind a trained health professional, there’s a lot of people who will miss out.
What about DR Doolittle
DR White’s
DR No
DR Zhivago
DR My eyes ?
Dr Pepper. What’s the worst that can happen?
You could survive – with the galloping lurgies.
Guido,
Your clinical experiences astound me – a child’s temperature can be reduced to a ‘safe’ degree by tepid bathes, cold compresses etc. – standard advice given to mothers of my generation (I’m 61). An unchecked, raging temperature in children does, in some cases, lead to ‘fitting’. High temperature is a normal reaction when the human system is fighting a ‘bug’, but it needs to be kept in check/reduced – plus lots of fluids to avert dehydration. I wish your child a speedy recovery; my own suffered identical symptoms 30 odd years ago before ‘swine flue’ existed.
And indeed, when I were a lad etc, (not long after the discovery of electricity), I also had a very high temperature and when family gp was called (yes, those were the days) my parents were told to rub me down with a flannel dipped in a vinegar/water solution. Worked a treat. Smell was awful of course and I now gag on sight at pickled onions.
Trust the ankle-biter is back on feet in quick order.
A quick rub down with a pork chop works wonders as well but have no fear the little one will get well.
Eehhhh, we were tough then, called the doctor out for flu we did. We were HARD, not like the nancies nowadays.
Why vinegar as well as water?
I second that as I am of the same generation ! Junior aspirin takes down temperatures too.
Hope the entire Fawkes family recovers quickly and easily!
NO! Do NOT give aspirin to children under 12. Use other kiddie analgesic temoerature reducers. Rare Reyes Syndrome (v nasty) can kick in if children take aspirin.
minimum age for aspirin has been raised to 16 or maybe even 18 by now
Nice one, Guido. Hope the little ‘un will be OK.
My wife had a dreadful sore throat and cold a couple of weeks back so she phoned the health centre and they told her to stay at home for three days and not to go to the health centre. She went back to work on the fourth day and they sent her home again as she was still a tiny bit croaky. Still, she did get a hell of a lot of gardening done.
I hope she was able to cook for you as well.
Diod you excuse her ‘conjugal duties?’ I hope not.
Everyone at my son’s school is convinced that the weirdo virus – aches, mild temperature, nausea, no appetite, terrible persistent cough – we all had in early June was actually swine flu.
None of us, it is true, had been in direct contact with someone from Mexico, or someone already diagnosed with swine flu, which is why when we rang the NHS hotline, we were, in effect, told not to be such a lot of useless whining hypochondriacs.
As the school is quite international, however, and as the half term holidays had just ended, various members of the school had (a) been on flights with people from Mexico, (b) hung out in airports with people from Mexico, (c) spent lots of time in Scotland (where H1N1 was already thriving), (d) worked in offices with people who’d recently been in Mexico, Scotland and pretty much everywhere else and (e) lived in an international city where everyone around us might well have come from pretty much anywhere. Never mind, though – no tests, no diagnosis, no problem.
The alternative would have been closing down a largish school, working out all our contacts, and handing out thousands of packs of Tamiflu – not cheap, and as not all that much was stockpiled, probably running down the supplies for those who needed it more, and hence showing how under-prepared / patronising / mendacious government policy was, and is.
Anyway, best of wishes for a very mild case and a very quick recovery.
Don’t shag sheep or scottish persons, that’s precaution enough.

Perhaps they’re planning a remake of Ghostbusters.
Room for the barrels Guido !
Make a hole in the floor of the commons and flush all those Turd’s down it !
On behalf of all the members of the House of Commons might I pass on my good wishes for the speedy recovery for your family and yourself.
Being drowsy and feverish is a worldwide phenomenon and the government is unable to accept responsibilty.
I can give you a worldwide exclusive and confirm that so long as i remain Prime minister there will be no more boom and bust,there will just be bust!!
Whoever said I didn’t have a sense of humour ???
Jonah Brown wished Murray good luck in the semi-final today. Poor kid.
What a hoon.
It was the right thing to do and I am watching Andy Murray playing excellent tennis and he will defeat his American opponent and I will delight in phoning Barack Obama with the news.
I trust that I can count on your vote at the next General Election
He just lost you accursed one-eyed Hoon, Brown!
Andy Just Lost!
It started in America you know.
Well, just over the border on the Mexican side.
so long as you keep DOING THE RIGHT THING
P.S It started in the america’s
I find that a half decent bottle of Bordeaux is a far better and safer medicine than any thing I can get at the local pharmacy
Does anybody know how many cases of normal flu there are each year,not fatalities just normal flu?
If the TV networks run daily running total of normal flu outbreaks from January 1st,then never removed the people that have fully recovered i bet we would be in the millions if not 10m+by Dec31 st.
I don’t know, but I’d rather have a case of single malt.
Best wishes to the small Fawkeses.
Several hundred thousand vulnerable people (mainly the elderly) die each winter from your normal ‘English’ flu. It helps the government subdue the ‘gray vote’
OT
Now that Jonah has given his blessing to English hating Murray, his jinx can be expected to maifest itself on the center court.
yup it did!
Poor wee lass. I do hope the younger one keeps clear. Keep us updated Guido and stop drinking that Pimms – yer supposed to be mentally alert when your child is ill.
I see there is a comedy gig at the Keens’ house in Brentford tonight, currently occupied by squatters.
http://www.BrentfordTW8.com/default.asp?section=info&link=http://nnet-server.com/server/common/conannkeen46.htm
Looks awful. Still, at least Marcus Brigstocke won’t be there.
Well done Guido and little Guido not forgetting Mrs Guido, treat it like the Norovirus with added tamiflu tabs. Lots (even excessive) amounts of determined handwashing and antiseptic wipes on all surfaces touched everything from door handles, stair rails, telephones, walkingsticks, glasses,computer keyboard etc and especially after bathroom etc Take copius amounts of fluids, ice lollies, still not fizzy drinks, minimal alcohol…..
Trouble is the brits are a dirty lot and have to be taught how to handwash… also use liquid hand wash dispensers wherever offered. Report on twitter a few mins.ago conservative head office has been hit by swine flu or is that duck house swine mutated flu… still weather breaking so will be cooler
My wife and I were given a Swine flu scare. Banned from going to work, started on Tamiflu only to find out that, after all, we did not have swine Flu. Probably.
My bet is that it is the Australian flu that is only partially covered by last winter’s flu shot.
Here’s my top medical advice for you, Guido. It helped me…
The right prescription for treating Swine Flu. This doctor helps and is available 24/7. As Den says, he makes house calls
“Guido feels a bit drowsy and feverish too, though it could be just the Pimms. Will let you know…”
Don’t bother.
I am a qualified medical microbiologist (honestly, I really am), and this is all being blown out of proportion.
This is the best time to catch a contagious virus and it’s almost impossible to avoid do so at some time. Mid-summer we are all outdoors more often = lower loading dose = better chances of a natural immune response, and fresh air kills bugs (it’s documented here http://www.inov8science.com/index.php?page=open-air-factor)
Has anyone else noted the correlation between super hygiene and plastic wrapped foods versus increased asthma and lack of resistance to infection in general? I have.
In it’s simplest terms the immune response has a job to do and MUST do it. If it is under-worked it will target irrelevant challenges = asthma. So let nature take control at the best possible time of the year.
Note that I have no contact nor any vested interest in the afore-mentioned link.
We total avoid plastic wrapped food, I remember the stuff about cling film around sandwiches.
What’s this about cling film?
cling film does have some small amounts of chemicals that go into fatty foods. So a sandwich would be ok if you didnt butter to the edges.
Its true but in tiny quantities.
Thanks.
Nell ! How many times do I have to tell you to get back into that igloo ?
We stopped eating plastic wrapped sandwiches years ago. We found that not only did it affect the taste but you were almost certain to end up with lots of bits of plastic stuck between your teeeth.
Me, too, and since then to this day I have not bought or used cling film.
All I do know about asthma is that we had one asthmatic in my junior school class of 36 over 40 years ago whilst half of my ten year old nephew’s class now have it.
My word, that thing in the link looks like a right rip off. Fresh air doesnt kill virus when its inside your cells, doing its stuff.
Your immunology is bollocks AND the “hygene hypothesis” is just too damn trendy. I rekon it’ll get disproved in a few years time.
That’s right. My old dad told me to get to know as may dirty women as you can. You will be the winner in the long run.
lol
You may be a medical microbiologist but I’m an immunologist / virologist, and you’re talking testicles. (That’s bollocks for you non-medics). The worry with H1N1 is the timing – it is quite unusual for flu to start in the Spring, and previous pandemics of this sort have ended in tears. In any case, vitamin D status looks to be critical (Cannel et al ’06), as does your innate immune status. Tamiflu is a complete waste of time and money, and the vaccines will always be a day late and a dollar short, due to changing viral antigenicity.
Tamiflu helped me, it has to be said. Though my virus wasn’t Swine Flu.
So I wonder what it was? We may never know. Though I am guessing that Australian flu?
Are you any good on a violin ?
and Murray has lost the first set. 6-4 to Roddick.
Roddick? That’s a fine English name.
Didn’t he have some Chronicle or other named after him ?
Isn’t that Ribbitt?
No, I think that was the “Evening Chronicle”.
and its now 1 set all due to Roddick messin up the first game in the second.
Anyone know of any NATURAL remedies?
don’t be a Jessy!
Whisky.
Another Doctor. Dr Jack Daniels. Fine chap.
Natural Honey
Is there any other sort?
Two Aspirins and a wank.
Yes – but do you really want to know are are you, like George Osborne, just messing about?
Laphraoig without water.
Just sip it.
Whoops:
“This is the best time to catch a contagious virus and it’s almost impossible to avoid do so at some time”
should have read
“This is the best time to catch a contagious virus and it’s almost impossible to avoid do so at some time IN THE FUTURE.”
Do you have a scratch and sniff facility please?
I once courted a girl with the most superb scratch and sniff facility known to man.
Anyone got a price on ROCHE shares? tamiflu mfrs
The fool doesn’t even know the words and one of the kids managed to make a run for it!
He had a bit of a gurn on after a sentence. Poor kids they will have nightmares for the rest of their lives and have to hypnotised in later life to find what the trauma was that gave them so much anxiety. It’s all part of the New new new new new Brown. He cares for the vulnerable. Kunt.
The age for kids to be safe with GB is getting lower all the time. Even 5-year olds now would tell him to go away and resign, or words to that effect.
People care
Looks like Gordn’s curse is about to strike again:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/7416636.stm
This meme is so much arsewipe!
Gordon wished Murray well before the last match and he walked it, yet I read nothing about the Gordon effect then!
This meme is so much arsewipe!

Delayed action.
Perhaps the curse works more slowly on other Scots? It still worked though!
If was neutralised by the Queen’s good wishes, but then Prince Philip told her that a Murray success would b*gger up his Sunday afternoon kip and give Labour an extra 1% in the polls. She wisely kept mum.
Guido
Good to hear that you have access to Tamiflu now…
Astonishing that the Health Service is so bloody incompetent…
Keep up the alcohol…
That kills the bugs as well..
All the best…
It wasn’t the health service that was incompetent. FOLLOW THE BLOODY ADVICE which has been repeated ad nauseam, losers.
And with a four to five hour wait to speak to a receptionist at NHS Direct? Then another similar length of time to speak to a nurse? Yeah, right…
Have you any underlying health problems?
Just the Labour Government.
You mean

It’s an ineffective placebo that may have undesirable side-effects.
Google it before you use it.
Here you go.
What did I tall you?
Common adverse reactions include: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and headache. Rare reactions include: hepatitis and elevated liver enzymes, rash, allergic reactions including anaphylaxis, and Stevens-Johnson syndrome.[4][5]
New Labour = Stranger Danger
Those are not side-effects. THEY ARE THE EFFECTS! You do not get ill from the flu due to a tamiflu deficiency!
You get ill when the blood is in an unhealthy acidic state through poor diet and lack of exersize. This allows all sorts of bugs to thrive and multiply in the body.
You will not catch me putting these poisons in my body to help big-pharma get even richer.
Ah yes Mr Ned, acidic blood is the bane of mankind so just avoid all those big pharma products then one day you will catch something and nature will take her course
Rather like the years under a Labour government.
Do you?
Dear Mr Ned, it’s good to know that the Neanderthal Tendency is still going strong.
Tamiflu can, as a side effect, give you all the symptoms of a nasty dose of flu! Plus other, rarer, side-effects, too.
This should cheer you up Guido – someone has given Blair a black eye! And a right shiner it is to!
Oh dear.
Yeah the ‘gym equipment’ had a pop at him Heard anything different anyone?
Well I had to do it as Tony was getting a bit too fresh with me but then again we all enjoy a spot of S &M
Another medal?
He’s like fuukin’ Muttley!
Which Blair ? The Cop who lied or the PM who lied even more?
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE go around No.10 and sneeze all over McTwat as much as you can, he’s been lookin like a close associate of the Grim Reaper for months now, a slight dose of bacon-flu might just do the country a massive favour.
After Harriet(all men should be neutered at birth) harperson’s comments on the gay row, you can now in all honestly say that they are really scraping the barrel.
LABOUR really are the NASTY PARTY now full of hate, vindictiveness, lying and bullying.
The air will smell sweeter when they are swept away at the next election. But don’t expect a fair fight. They must be busy filling in all their postal and proxy votes.
What a disgusting party.
Socialists ALWAYS ARE NASTY.
Envy, Narcissism and Projection are their 3 main traits.
The first task of socialism is to find a group to steal from and blame. That probably means YOU.
You will find that Bernard Madoff is anything but a socialist.
He is the biggest ever convicted thief.
Nope, the disciples of Marx are the world biggest thieves and murderers.
Not to foget Ally “WMD” Campbell’s chum Robert Maxwell !!
Go back to school kid…

Join the dots…
=McMental ?
won’t till we try Brown Blair and his chums after we kick them out.
arsehole
callaghan was never tried for making the Uk go bust in the seventies and having to get a loan from the IMF. Just what Brown is doing now.
A truly evil party.
Robber Maxwell went bob bob bobbing along
Did he jump or was he pushed ?
And a large sponsor of the US Democratic Party !!
But like Nulabour financing themselves by selling titles, the US Democrats have never worried where their money came from !!
Look at Obama’s backers in Chicago also, that cesspit of politics !
International drug lord and crime money props the democracts up , look up Hillary and Bill Clinton and the people that started disappearing and ”shooting themselves in the back of the head” during Bill’s tenure when the truth about their dodgy fundraising started to come out.
Allpolitical parties are corrupt, it’s how they obtain and hold on to power. Both American political parties are to the right of the conservatives. Always have been.
Its 2 sets to 1 for Roddick, Murray has got it all to do now.
Will you fuck off please. I have mine on a 10 minute delay!
mind your language how was i to know you can’t afford proper tv,fuckwit.
It’s called working from home, and pausing the tennis when I have calls to take. Arsewipe.
YOU CALLED ?
WHY did you remove my comment ? is it because i said privatise the NHS ?
And what’s your point caller ?
As long as the co-conspirator didn’t buy his stash on the internet but got them from reputable sources…..
Best wishes….
Yeah. The stuff on the net has been IDed as sugar if you are lucky and rat poison, if yu are not lucky.
Sellin’ any shit, inclduing da bad stuff…
Guido, I had a similar experience with my daughter. It’s bloody outrageous that a sick child can just keep getting passed from pillar to post without anyone actually seeming to care for the poor child!
A sad reflection on Brown’s Britain in general. It’s almost as if the Government want this virus to spread so that it will avert attention from their own misgivings.
With any luck the latest ‘What To Do If You Have Swine Flu’ leaflet may catch on and we’ll see how Gordon Brown and his family react to having a pile of germ ridden snot rags shoved through their letterbox!
What To Do If You Have Swine Flu.
Pity you didn’t follow the advice in the original leaflet, Einstein.

Positive thinking, clean air, plenty of water.
Shalom…
Tamiflu sounds like some bogus medicine to me. I mean apart from Anusol what other treatment incorporates the illness in its name.
Thank god mind, cause as a young man it would have been hard to ask for ‘Crabs away’ at the chemist after an attack of the Galloping Dandruff.
Curse of the snotgobbler strikes again – Murray out of Wimbledon!
oh god, i’m happy, a class final, Roddick vs Federer.
It was ended by an American
Well done Jonah your curse on Murray worked a treat.
stay well clear of Brown, he’s like that ring film, you’ll be dead in 72 hours.
Message for freddie:
If you see him anywhere near Cardiff, back of the head with the Puma please. It was clearly accidental.
Even Alex Salmond can’t wait till the Tories are elected. Neither can I, then the scots can fuck off and have their independence and we can stop paying for them. So more for us, yummy!
Can’t allow a rabid leftie like Salmond in again – I told you yesterday that he’s
about to explode; can’t get enough Vindalloos to satisfy him. Noticed he held his
arms in front to hide his paunch’also,he doesn’t walk any more – he waddles.
Could Gordon send his best wishes to the Aussies for the cricket, the Germans for the World Cup next year, and North Korea for their contributions to world peace.
I have reason to believe that aspirin or almost any other anti-inflammatory drug is just as good as Tamiflu which merely targets the symptoms and not the disease.
You and your family have my best wishes for a speedy recovery. Bless you.
A little learning is a dangerous thing, clearly. Aspirin may help a little at this stage of the game, but once H1N1 gets into the virulent phase (and I’m betting that it will) aspirin won’t be any use at all, at all.
Tamiflu is one of the most hyped drugs ever. I figure it is close to snake oil or liquorice water. Most of the world’s governments have fallen for the hype. It is merely a palliative, and no doubt horrendously overpriced. Plus! I no more believe in the flujab than I do the hijab. The flujab incurs a nice fat bonus for Gps.
I figure its a neat way of culling OAPs.
Tamiflu and statins are the drugs of choice for getting rid of OAPs. This saves on paying out pensions and frees up the NHS for Labour’s New Model Citizens.
Guido
Remember the bumper-sticker from the US Presidential election? Socialised Healthcare Makes Me Sick! It does, in every sense of the word.
I’m sorry to hear that you and yours are unwell, but what you’ve experienced is no more than what any old person would experience if they needed physio or occupational therapy, or an assessment by a geriatrician. Lots of rhetoric from the centre, and naff-all at the sharp end.
We should all be grateful that flu is (mostly) self-limiting. Having a stroke or Parkinson’s Disease is not.
Sounds like you got a good service from the good old NHS in the end, then. Pity you didn’t follow the advice to ring in the first place, could have saved yourself a lot of hassle.
Some folk can’t read the instructions the nanny state sends them, then panic and then complain about the response they get from said nanny state. You couldn’t make it up.
I had to take my daughter to the doctor today with an infected toe.. The GB said it was nice to get something different to talk about apart from Swine flu.. There was big sign on the door to the surgery saying ‘Do not enter if you have any flu symptoms’
What the GP did say which was interesting was that they have stopped giving out Tamiflu to the majority of people.. Only people with health problems or elderly people now qualifies for Tamiflu. So why are they saying there is enough Tamiflu for everybody, yet it is being restricted now?
What is the problem with the NHS in London?
Its not a generic NHS problem, because having lived in many corners of this country I only struggle to get treated in London. I suffer from tonsilitus quite frequently and again only in London do they insist on waiting 3 days to make sure it is tonsilitus and then only give me post dated prescriptions in another few days.
Guido
I hope your daughter is OK but this is just another phrase of life. When you are young its hot babes and projectile vomiting after a good night out. Now its hot babies and projectile vomiting over you.
As for yourself, its just the flu. Treat it as a less expensive hangover and it will seem better.
The research evidence for the benefit for tamiflu, apart from any financial benefit to the drug companies of course, is scanty at best. It reduces the course of the illness by 0.6 days. So that is 14 hours and 24 minutes.
so not the wonder drug, world health saver that the MSM is presenting.
In addition probably 50% of the supplies available on line are counterfeit.
Hope Miss Fawkes gets well soon!
