...school supplies at a discount store. Her son's private school requires a uniform, but instead of buying an overpriced ensemble directly from the school, Montero plans to go to Target to patch the outfit together for half the price.

"I can't afford to get him the new style all these teenagers are into these days," Montero says. "He's been bugging me for it, but it had to end. We're just in a time...

Tamiflu works by inhibiting the neuraminidase enzyme (that's the N in H1N1) and preventing it from doing its job of helping the virus replicate once inside a human cell. But certain amino-acid changes in the neuraminidase can render Tamiflu ineffective. This usually happens over time following extensive prescribing of the drug, but it can also occur spontaneously.
