Tamiflu, Protection from H5N1

Une fois de plus, le modèle hélvétique d'informations au public et la transparence des faits de nos voisins Suisse, devrait nous faire réfléchir sur la qualités de nos médias et politiques francais...

Un trés bon site qui explique bien ce qu'est le Tamiflu ou virus H5N1, disponible en 3 langues: Francais, Allemand mais pas  encore en italien/anglais.

• Francais: http://www.bag.admin.ch/infekt/f/vogelgrippe.htm
• Allemand: http://www.bag.admin.ch/infekt/d/vogelgrippe.htm

Une saine lecture pour tout ceux qui se posent la question de savoir si il faut se ruer sur l'achat de Oseltamivir (Tamiflu® ). En un mot, rien ne dit que le virus une fois mute sera arrété par la Tamiflu.

Une boîte de Tamiflu, qui coûte 36 euros en moyenne, est revendue plusieurs fois son prix, jusqu'à 200 euros sur ebay.

Dumb as ... a pitbull

African Porcupine against a bull terrier, the bull terrier was not smart enough to stop, and guess how it now look like...

Pictures were originally posted by the dog's owner on a community message board on May 25, 2005. The terrier's name is Inca.

"Thousands of quills were embedded even in her tongue," her owner explained. "The vets worked for quite some time to get quills out and even still could not get them all. The one's that are left will work themselves out over time. Inca is home and on antibiotics and pain killers."
