    I have never contracted the Flu playing video games so video games are an excellent natural remedy for the flu. I think I am ready to become a MAGA!

    Well if it’s influenza and you’ve been sick for more than 48 hours that’s correct.
    However if it’s influenza and you start Tamiflu within 48 hours of onset of symptoms (sometimes hard to do) it will short the length of illness and less the severity.

    Influenza usually starts suddenly and comes on like a ton of bricks.

    What a ridiculous thing to post.

    You’ve really gone over the edge.

    What an odd entry point to unhinge. Or maybe you don’t watch TV.

    This is great erotica literature, if you are into that sort of thing.

    Which is why Tamiflu really is just a money maker for Big Pharma while providing no real benefit. And the only small benefit it provides is maybe lessening severity if you take it early enough. Something I would argue could also maybe be attained by doing much cheaper remedies (loading up Vit C/etc).

    What are the effects of drugs like Tamiflu, etc as it relates to compromising one's immune system? A healthy human body's immune system can defeat most viruses on its own and without medicine. We know the body's immune system strengthens when this happens. So what happens when we augment with drugs? Does the body build up the equal immune system response to the virus or is it compromised by these drugs to a certain degree?

    I'm sure @PITBOSS is one helluva performer. If it makes it to video, great, but I'm not going to not read the book if it's released.
