anti-viral drugs don't CURE a viral infection, they prevent the spread of infection. Once you're infected with a virus, the only course of action is to let it run it's course.

Furthermore, infants and the elderly die from the flu ALL THE TIME. Not from the infection itself but from COMPLICATIONS - mainly dehydration.

I understand that, all I have been saying all along is we don't know yet....yes it could be no big deal....but to scoff at something that has only been in the know for 1 week, well a bit premature if you ask me...and just FYI anti-viral drugs do work after infection but must be taken within the first several days of infection to work

They can work. It's not a 100% thing, not even close.

Anti-viral drugs prevent spread of infection. If taken after infection, they slow the progression of the disease and/or lessen the symptoms. There's no "antibiotic" for viruses.

And I'm not scoffing at the disease, I'm scoffing at the reaction to it. The swine flu is not armageddon. We should be FAR MORE concerned with the fact that our government can't seem to prevent us from being infected with salmonella every 6 months. Salmonella is FAR more deadly than the flu.

babies and elderly die from the flu all the time. It's a fact of life. Even as advanced as our medical system is, they can't save everybody.
