Tamiflu will remain as the the treatment of choice for the flu. The scary part of this is that 3 of the 4 patients died who had the resistant flu. CDC is investigating. Relenza is another drug that can be used to fight the flu but has some limitations on who can take it, pre-school and those with respiratory disease are out of the loop for this drug.

I hear there are reports of Swine Flu becoming resistant to Tamiflu . I am deeply uninterested in this fact. Swine flu is a mild, highly infectious disease: occasionally (like seasonal flu) it can be very severe and fatal.
