Anti Virals

[Ravello]

I've got the opportunity to buy Tamiflu and Relenza anti-viral drugs. They are quite expensive.

Do I shell out £1000 to cover my whole family just in case or take a chance that the NHS will save us?

Discuss.

What is it with the issuing of an instruction for people to "discuss" a topic? If your post is of sufficient interest or provides a carefully constructed argument, naturally people will "discuss".

I could buy some Tamiflu, do you think I should? Hardly warrants a discussion.

But yeah, for what it's worth, go ahead, knock yourself out. Maybe buy 2 lots each just in case....

Front line services protected? Good to know us truckers are protected them

When there was the fuel strikes a number of years ago (my dad as I wasn't a trucker then) was allowed to pull fuel out at the fuel stations as he and other food distribution people were deemed "essential".

What is it with the issuing of an instruction for people to "discuss" a topic?

"Issuing an instruction to discuss a thread within a thread should not be allowed".

There are stockpiles for 50% of the population, a large slice of that will be pre-allocated for front line services and the vulnerable. I wouldnt rely on anyone
