To quote User:Pigkeeper-

"Doctor says bird flu drug is ‘useless’ Dr Nguyen Tuong Van runs the intensive care unit at the Centre for Tropical Diseases in Hanoi and has treated 41 victims of H5N1. Van followed World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines and gave her patients Tamiflu, but concluded it had no effect.

^{“We place no importance on using this drug on our patients,” she said. “Tamiflu is really only meant for treating ordinary type A flu. It was not designed to combat H5N1 . . . (Tamiflu) is useless.”}

Van... said avian flu had a frightening effect on its victims and the only way to keep patients alive was to “support” all their vital organs, including the liver and kidneys, with modern technology such as ventilators and dialysis machines.

“Laboratory studies show that Tamiflu is effective against all strains of flu,” said Bill Hall, director of the National Virus Reference Laboratory, who defended Ireland’s stockpiling of Tamiflu and other flu treatments. “The only limitation is when it is not administered within the first 24 hours of onset of symptoms.”

The WHO admitted Tamiflu had not been widely successful in humans. “However, we believe in many Asian countries it hasn’t been used until late in the illness,” a spokesman said.

Take what you will from this. In person experience like this is definitely worth a lot. But the WHO may have a point: when is this stuff given? The original studies on 'regular' flu administered the drug within ~40 hours after onset of symptoms. This also isn't calling into question the prophylactic efficacy of tamiflu. The efficacy there is actually pretty high for regular flu. Pigkeeper 22:01, 5 December 2005 (UTC)Pigkeeper"

Here is a report from Canada about a test showing that tamiflu is 98% infective due to virus immunity to the medicine [http://www.cbc.ca/health/story/2009/03/02/tamiflu-resistance.html}!--86.29.254.128 (talk) 13:57, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

What does 'human created' means?

I have listen several rumours about A-H1N1-2009 is a human created virus.

Amazing! synthetic biology is believed to be very mature to design and create a new malevolent virus.

Human created does not necessarily means a human designed virus

A-H1N1-2009 is in fact a human created virus, it is the result of evolution by the interaction of birds, pigs and humans in farms.

Even if its genetically designed, its not necessarily a malevolent created virus

Some research is done in studying virus sequences in order to predict future mutations. Given the predicted mutations it is possible to synthesize the new sequence to produce vaccines with `dead' attenuated viruses before the virus evolves to the predicted mutation. As far as I know this method is not mature yet.

My suggestion is you can add information about 
 such theory in the article, just be careful 
 checking citations, being serious not alarmist.
 It means, be clear about the context in which 
 it may be true, and the possibility of 
 the hypothesis.

Good idea!--Its snowing in East Asia (talk) 08:31, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

It is hardly the wipe out Hong Kong flu was!----86.29.242.190 (talk) 09:12, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Do you call 53 deaths in 5 countries, including Costa Rica a 'no wipe out' incident. --86.29.255.85 (talk) 01:45, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Historical context

The last two pandemics killed around 1 million people each, so why does the table only mention U.S. deaths? The key word here is "pandemic". cyclosarin (talk) 23:12, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Are you referring to this table? –Juliancolton | ^Talk 23:47, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

46 deaths is hardly SARS like! --86.29.254.205 (talk) 02:14, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

1976!

It will blow over, just like this one did![85] --86.25.50.119 (talk) 10:21, 10 May 2009 (UTC)--86.25.50.119 (talk) 10:29, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
