Tamiflu or not to Tamiflu

Another young life lost to H1N1 and the seasonal flu is just around the corner. Usually about this time of year, we say things like: The cold and flu season is just around the corner. This year it never really left. People are now debating weather or not Tamiflu should be more wildely used after a 14 year old girl died of H1N1. Other than having swine flu, she was a healthy girl, which according to CDC guidelines, made her a candidate not to receive the antiviral drug. Tamiflu helps fight the flu. Some are saying the drug should be prescribed more often. We interviewed a doctor in Rockwall who told us he would rather error on the side of caution, and prescribes Tamiflu when he sees fit. He says the CDC issues guidelines, not laws. I'm not in the business of giving opinions, but I really hope when the flu season finally ends, we don't have any unused Tamiflu on the shelves.
