Hank, Mr. Viral Expert, Mr. Stats expert, I hope this doesn't sound like a shill, but Glaxo's drug is against the flu virus. You do realize there is a difference between the flu virus and the rhinovirus, don't you? Influenza viruses are orthomyxoviruses and, although imperfect because of yearly mutations, vaccines exist. Go figure. Let me apologize in advance for using facts.

Is this the Glaxo drug you are talking about? beta.siliconinvestor.com I don't think many doctors will write a prescription by simply having a patient call. Granted some doctors will occasionally do this for patients that they know well, but they open themselves up for malpractice suits by doing so, and I seriously doubt if it's as widespread as you imply.

You and Mikey... Tell me something Hank, does your lack of respect for people with a different perspective stem from deep seated problems while you were being raised or perhaps as you are being raised? I have resisted the urge to refer to you as "Hankie".... Having served in my country's armed forces through two wars defending the right of people like you to say what is on your mind without recrimination, I don't think I deserve your pejorative reference to my name. It smacks of someone having nothing intelligent to say and resorting to more name calling. Lets keep this on a somewhat professional level.
