The government is pushing Tamiflu hard. Because it has nothing else to offer for swine flu. I am sure that is true, but there is another and much funnier reason. The Jobbing Doctor gets the inside story from a chance meeting with a colleague:
He then told me why the Government were very keen for us to prescribe it to everyone who has a sniffle and a high temperature: you see, most of the stockpiled Tamiflu was for a previous flu scare, and it expires (passes its sell-by date) in the early part of this Autumn (2009) when it effectively and officially becomes useless (as opposed to being pretty useless anyway).
