Document Summary
2007: deliberate infection of monkeys with 1918 influenza, causes: disease within 24 hours; death within 8 days. down-regulation of rig-1, causing immune system to run wild". high levels of absenteeism and telecommunicating failures radically lowered productivity. consumer interactions were hard hit: atm/cash, mortgage payments, insurance settlements. What about side effects? www. notesolution. com: one side effect is suicidal desires, there is no direct clinical trial evidence that shows that tamiflu is effective in human. Almost no tami flu is available for poor countries. Russia has stockpiled for 95% of its people and u. s. for 30% of its people. This supply will last from 2 weeks: few poor countries have tamiflu stockpiles, stockpiles are already approaching expiration dates in some, especially hard hit. In 1918 the answer to who is in charge was decidedly not the federal government. only 27 countries kept mortality records that are reliable.
