I don't think that's quite true, Tamiflu, hopefully, alleviates the worst symptoms but it's not a cure. The body's natural defences get rid of the virus eventually. If the condition has been made less severe by the medication the body has more reserves of strength to call on and is able to overcome the virus. Anyone who has ever had flu knows how weak it leaves you but few of those people will have had treatment, before this outbreak, yet have still survived.
I would ask for Tamiflu, if I got it, because I have a heart and lung problem. Twenty years ago, when I was very fit, I wouldn't have bothered.
