Hi Mr.Forde,

Do you have any websites to find out about what Tamiflu does. I already know it stops the flu from spreading from the rest of the body; but in class you told me to find out what it does specifically to stop the flu. I searched on some search enginess but haven't found any good information.
Thanks,
Francesca

Hi Francesca!

What you e-mailed me is correct! The Tamiflu sop the new viruses from emerging from the host cells, thereby disrupting their ability to multiply!

Good job!

Mr. Forde :-)

Hey Mr.Forde,
Do we have to print the research we did?
I'm a little confused...

Hey Sherene,

I am sorry that this wasn't clear for you. I will have you save the document into a folder on the share drive. We'll discuss this tomorrow.

Hey Mr. Forde,
I don't have a question about the research. I just wanted to know if I can watch the videos we made because I can't find a link. It might be my computer. Thanks,
Melissa
