More Tamiflu(r) resistance

Two of the avian flu patients in Egypt had a strain resistant to Tamiflu.  This means that in only a few hundred cases, three humans have had resistant strains.  Logically, this means that in a pandemic, resistance will be established quickly.  In turn this means that all of the money we have spent stockpiling the drug and relying on it as a primary treatment is likely misplaced.
