Panic! We're all going to die! But money can be made!


Cynical, immoral and unprofessional, anyone? Stockpiling anti-flu drugs then doing online prescriptions for patients they haven't examined? Just think, if you were a panicky, devious hypochondriac, you could google the symptoms, fill in the boxes, stockpile drugs which are in short supply, or take them and therefore reduce the effectiveness of the antivirals (thanks for the correction Ben) when the actual illness reaches the population. I wonder if this disgusting company has thought of this possibility (that's sarcasm, by the way).

Oh yes - and they're charging £50: a mere £43 more than the standard prescription fee on the NHS.

And the good news is: By this system we could soon achieve your demand for human extinction, or else an interesting leftover: the immoral and the poor.

Quick point. Antiviral not Antibiotic. Flu is a virus. Otherwise good point well made.
