Do you guys understand how Tamiflu and Relenza work? it sounds like you might be a bit confused. They aren't for a specific strain like H5N1 (most common strain people know as "Bird Flu") or H1N1 (the current Swine flu). Vaccines are for a specific strain, and will need to be quickly developed for what is spreading. Tamiflu and Relenza are anti-virals. They only work if taken in the early stages, and they don't always work. Tamiflu appears to be working on this strain, which is very good news.

patron and all, we've just been through a decade where inflation was centralized on two main assets - first stocks and then stocks (to a lesser degree, but still) and housing. we are all looking around for inflation and i have to wonder if we are seeing it - in stocks again. if all our inflation is going into the stock market, then the bull has a distinct advantage against bears. i'm not sure i believe this yet, but i'm not sure i can discount it, either. i'd appreciate any input to see if we can identify if the bull has a big inflationary advantage over the bear.
