Tamiflu is only prescribed to people the drs deem high risk (asthma, breathing problems) so again the best thing to do is stay home and get better unless you have serious problems. The problem with epidemics is that people don't have enough sense to stay home and get better. They are risking themselves getting worse and spreading germs to those who may be in worse shape by going to the hospital
