Flu 2008... It's out there

I am hearing more and more about people dying from flu this week.
Although I do work with a very frail population, I am hearing about young, healthy people getting flu and becoming very sick.
Even dying from it.
Or from Tamiflu.
Which I personally would never recommend anyone to take. Too many questions about that medicine for my liking.
And of course, one of the major stockholders in the company that makes it... Donald Rumsfeld. I would rather take my chances with the virus.
But, that's just me.
