Why Health?

I choose the health topic because right now, the flu ( H1N1 ) is still threatening a great part of the population. I wanted to know about the actual medical progress on this subject. I first search on cnn.com where I found that the vaccin's trials were good on children between 10 and 17 but needed a review for younger people.

Then I searched on the New York Times . There was an article about new drugs coming soon, but maybe not soon enough to attack vthe flu in time. The H1N1 flu is, according to the article, already resistant to 2 other older drugs, and in rare tests, it was resistant to one younger drug, Tamiflu. In the same time, researchers say that they need to find new drugs because if the resistance on Tamiflu still go on, there would be only one drug effective, Relenza, a cure that you will be inhaling rather than inhaling, which is kind of unconvenient.
