OK I'll reveal my ignorance.
What's all this talk about flu shots (vaccinations) ? Like just a moment ago I read something about Thailand promising 5% of their vaccination stock to a "regional stockpile".
There is no vaccination for the H5N1 virus right now, and me being vaccinated for other flu virus variants would not help me if H5N1 mutated into a human-to-human transmissible form?
So should I be knocking on the door at BNH and asking them to jab me with a flu shot?
The above-mentioned Secretary guy said that flu shots should be administered to people who work with fowl, so that they wouldn't get the H5N1 and a human flu virus simultaneously and therefore be a vessel for the virus' mutation. That makes sense to me. But what about an average joe like me who does not come into contact with chicken, and whose only threat is that H5N1 might mutate.
I can't do much but sit, wait and hope, right? Or am I missing something here?

Tamiflu. Within 36 hours of infection.

Is anyone surprised? Everyone is taking a "Let's wait and see" attitude, and most third world countries pretend it doesn't exist... until it spreads.
I have no doubt that we will soon have the first cases of the human variant, coming out of places like China (which claims every few weeks to have eradicated it....), North Korea or Vietnam... One thing's for sure, it's on the move.

OK, cheers, I read up on that. Has anyone asked in any pharmacies in BKK if they are stocking this? Wouldn't hurt to have a box at home I guess.

Tamiflu will probably not be available at your local pharmacy. By my estimates (based on recently published statistics) the entire world production capability of Tamiflu is committed to National and Regional stockpiles. Additionally, it seems that some current strains of the flu appearing in Japan is resistant to Tamiflu, so there is no guarantee it will work.
On another note, research done recently in Boston determined that the primary vector for flu-like diseases are pre-school children. As these children have less developed immune systems and are more likely to engage in behaviors that promote the spread of disease they make up the bulk of the initial wave of flu victims each year.
There has been success in limiting flu spread by vaccinating the children before the at-risk population.
