Bird flu pandemic

U.S. president Bush said about the warning of bird flu pandemic. U.S seems to put much money into the measures against that.

There is concern about stocks of Tamiflu (oseltamivir phosphate) in Japan. In case new type flu appears by mutation in the bird flu, it is said that Tamiflu is useful for its treatment.

But!
Recently, it is reported that Tamiflu has side effects, for example abnormal behavior and hallucination. In fact, after taking Tamiflu, one high school boy ran to the driveway and got hit by a truck, and one junior high school boy died from jumping down from the 9th floor of building. Hmm... I hope flu pandemic won't happen.

But!
Some people perished by bird flu in China. And one boy has the bird flu, but China announced it ONE MONTH after his getting bird flu. I can't believe!
When SARS went around, China was criticized for its cover-ups by all over the world. China didn't learn anything from it! This isn't just Chinese problem!!!
