Try googling "H5N1 antiviral resistance" - you'll get over 15,000 hits. .
Try using the Google News search for articles dated 2008 regarding Tamiflu resistance. There is only one article, the one I linked.
It is NOT clear from that one article that the current 2008 H5N1 cases in Egypt are Tamiflu resistant. On the contrary, it appears the only WHO statements regarding Tamiflu resistance are from last year's cases, not the current cases.
Therefore, it may be premature to spread an unsubstantiated rumor that the current cases are Tamiflu resistant until there is more solid evidence to substantiate that claim than one poorly written IRIN article that appears to have plagiarized an earlier BBC article -- in which it was perfectly clear they were referring to last year's cases as Tamiflu resistant.
