I’ve seen a lot of viral illnesses the past six weeks or so: COVID. Bronchitis. Sinusitis. And of course, the flu. This is the time of year when people get sick with all kinds of sniffles, sore throats, coughs, chills, and aches. Understandably when people are sick, they want to get better as quickly as possible. Ergo, many patients who test positive for flu will ask me for Tamiflu.
