Brd, I know! I just want to hole myself up in my place and not leave.

Jane, it was all the usual stuff - wash your hands, don't touch them to your face, etc, etc, but it was all the talk about how fast the germs can travel and the feeling on my end that there's very little you can do to really keep yourself protected, short of putting yourself in a bubble, that exacerbated my anxiety.

I see. And last night I saw a report about how people are buying Tamiflu right away in case they get sick. Of course that causes a run on the drug and makes it harder to get should someone need it.

It's only available by prescription. Who's writing the 'scripts and why?

I guess there are doctors who will write them. Same happened for that antibiotic that everyone was going to Canada for a few years ago. I forgot the name of it.

Cipro?

I think that was for SARS. And, what about the bird flu?

Cipro's not OTC in Canada, I don't think. Is it because there wasn't any Cipro in the US?

It's just odd. Overprescribing of antibiotics has caused, and will continue to cause, big problems in terms of drug resistant bacterial strains. I think there's agreement among a lot of physicians that it's not done much anymore.

I can't really understand why physicians would play into patient anxiety by offering Tamiflu prescriptions. If the patient is really freaked out, they probably need a short term anti-anxiety script. If a patient is going bonkers with worry and is given a Tamifly script to calm them down, they'll most likely fill the prescription to what? Have on hand? Stare at? At the first sign of an allergy related sneeze take it?

I think it's a bad idea.

I agree, Namo.

Yes, I was thinking of cipro. A friend of mine is originally from Canada, and he flew up there to get it. I don't know if his dr. prescribed or not.

Speaking of sars, my aunt would not eat at a Chinese restaurant during that whole episode. I made so much fun of her!

Namo, one of my sisters is a culprit. I would guess that each of her kids have been on anti-biotics 50 times! She is overbearing and I sure the docs just write the RX.

Doctors wrote all those Rx's for Heath Ledger, having zero knowledge of the other meds he was on, and probably didn't care. Some idiot doctor knocked up octomom. I always hear how crappy the GP's are in NYC--I've experienced that myself.

This is the first time I've ever heard NY doctors called "crappy." Usually people come into NY for better doctors.

I guess I'm just lucky with my drs. They're the best!

The WHO has identified patient zero. It's a 5 year old boy in Mexico. He recommends ice cream to feel better.

I'm watching the press conference with Napolitano and Sebelius now. Informative press conferences? Opportunities for the American public to have their questions answered by top officials? What IS this madness? Apparently they've having a webcast tomorrow afternoon and encouraging people to submit questions.

I know they've been touring, but have they been to Mexico recently?

Usually people come into NY for better doctors.

Unless it's for the heart or brain. Then they fly to Houston.

But it's Courage that seems to be needed most right now.
