A member asked:
I have the flu, it's pretty intense.. i cannot afford tamiflu (oseltamivir) at this time.. will that make a big difference in the duration of this virus?

Tamiflu (oseltamivir): Best taken within 24 hrs of onset of symptoms it will markedly reduce both severity and duration of illness. If you did not get vaccinated this year, please do so next fall when the new vaccine is released.
