HELL ON EARTH!!!
yes that means that they will have to find something else that can treat it and if they dont well h1n1 has killed serval people so just think if theres nothing to cure it what could happen
From a July 9 article: Officials have documented three cases of Tamiflu-resistant swine flu, but they appear to be isolated cases and not evidence of widespread resistance, the WHO said. In one case, testing revealed that a teenage girl who flew from San Francisco to Hong Kong was infected with a Tamiflu-reistant strain, despite the fact that she hadn’t been treated with Tamiflu — suggesting a resistant strain that has the ability to spread from person to person, the New York Times reports.
**There is no evidence that the resistant strain is widespread, and Tamiflu-resistant flu is susceptible to Relenza, another drug.**
So far, so good….
it means that that the virus is no longer resistance to tamiflu but there is Relenza which seems to work for the treatment
