| In Sept 2005, experts in Hong Kong have warned that the human strain of the H5N1 bird flu that surfaced in Vietnam was showing resistance to the antiviral drug Tamiflu. Countries around the world were stockpiling Tamiflu to ward off a looming flu pandemic that could kill millions of people. Drug manufacturers were urged to make more effective versions of Relenza, an inhaled antiviral that is also known to be effective in battling the much feared H5N1. |
