Dunno about stockpiles of Tamiflu and Relenza, but fake and expired Anti-Malarials we have in plenty - the govt is actually considering that as an alternative foreign-exchange earner through exports to <insert least favorite country here> <AAAATCHOOOOO!!!! maybe its just the cold weather....> On Mon, Apr 27, 2009 at 2:33 PM, Lmwangi <lmwangi@gmail.com> wrote:

I wonder whether we have stockpiles of Tamiflu & Relenza. If we do, whether they can get to the right people at the right time. Right people != Politicians|The Rich

Hi all, On a light note: http://xkcd.com/574/ - Am asking for leave to go binge and eat badly :)
On a serious note: The 1919 flu killed ~ 2 - 5% of the world's population. So if this flu goes pandemic, we could be looking at 350,000,000 dead going by the same rate. Yeah, we have better drugs and better understanding but we also have air travel and sprawling slums.
I wonder what the Kenyan government is doing about this. Are we
prepared?
