Here’s part of a message I got from American Citizens Services of the US Consulate-General in Guangzhou:

…the Department
of State has decided to pre-position the drug Tamiflu at its Embassies and
Consulates worldwide, for eligible U.S. Government employees and their
families serving abroad.?Tamiflu may not be readily
available overseas and the State Department encourages American citizens
traveling or living abroad that are interested in obtaining this medication
to consult with their physician.?There is no provision for the U.S.
government to provide American citizens traveling or living abroad with
medications, including in the event of a pandemic.

My emphases added. More compassion from the US government. Not a government employee? Well then go die.

Why are they even telling us they have it if they’re not going to give it to people? So we don’t annoy them by calling and asking for it?

I bet the Canadian consulate would give people Tamiflu!
