** 'Millions wasted' on flu drug **
Hundreds of millions of pounds have been wasted on Tamiflu, a drug for flu that may work no better than paracetamol, a landmark analysis says.

The experts at it again?

So it is just a coincidence that up until 1999 I used to get the flu at least 3 times a year and each time it would affect me for at least a week and in the next 15 years with flu shots I have had the flu 3-4 times?
 
Groan. Now I'm furious with myself too! :(

Don't google the price of a carton of empties in original box, in that case.

Don't worry I drank a carton of the stuff, and threw the empties, after the were forced to stop making it. (Full cartons went for $1000+)

But i was a uni student then. A beer in the hand was worth ten in the bottleo in those days.

Tamiflu is an anti-viral drug given post- influenza. I have always had my doubts as to its efficacy in normal use as soem GPs just give it to anyone no matter how long the length of illness.

The flu vaccine is a completely different kettle of fish, and is effective (~70% apparently).

QF93 now 12 ... but boarding has not started.

Seems there's a well known actor on the flight ... seems to like Qantas that one ...

Just received another email from the Chemical Engineering safety officer that waste chemical containers are not being put in the correct areas / cabinets.

Frankly, I don't see why it should be so hard for people to do this. Yes, we say that a lot, but when you're dealing with chemicals, it's not a risk you take lightly, whether it be in handling the stuff or disposing of it. So, really, people should know better.
 
i'm abit of a lightweight Gold

flying 51,108
credit cards 286,493
qantas cash 34:p:p:p

Mine is rather poor. 33,234 from flying and 47,057 from credit cards. However, I've pulled in 9000 from wine in the last three weeks :shock:


Correct. Even though I paid using one of their methods. Now someone has to waste their time contesting the "allegation".

I should send them a bill for the time wasted (even though my wonderful girlfriend volunteered to sort it out while I'm at work tomorrow).

Someone was nice enough to do it on work time this morning ;)
