Effective antivirals lessen the amount of virus a patient sheds (because the patient is not as severely ill) and shortens the length of time he or she sheds virus at all. Taking this into account, Neil Ferguson of Imperial College in London has used mathematical modeling to show that antivirals would help slow the spread of a bird flu virus originating in Asia. While the model should hold true for a swine...

The Varsity Eight never managed to recover from Yale’s fast start that allowed the Bulldogs to open-up a boat-length lead halfway through the race.
