Everyday we hear of more and more people getting the H1N1 where tamiflu doesn't work but Relenza still does. I hear government stockpiles are 80% tamiflu and only 20% Relenza?? Doesn't this mean that the stockpiles will only be 20% effective capacity if this current tamiflu resistant strain spreads?? Don't we need to quickly re-stock with relenza then?? and considering the demand from the public on relenza supplies since who wants to take the chance that the strain they have is NOT the tamiflu resistant one. I hope governments are considering this otherwise we may find ourselves in the perfect storm
