Business Matters: Tamiflu no better than paracetamol 11 Apr 14

Fri, 11 Apr 14

Tamiflu is no better at fighting flu than paracetamol. That's the devastating1 conclusion of a scientific study into the effectiveness of the drug. So why have the US and British governments stockpiled two billion dollars' worth? Dr Barry Clinch2 from Roche - manufacturer of Tamiflu - goes head to head with Oxford3 University's Dr Carl Heneghan - one of the scientists who carried out the study. Social media marketeer and Tennessee whiskey aficionado4, Jason Falls, is in Louisville, Kentucky, talking ladies' razors, vanity and how to develop a winning online presence, and in Singapore, Bloomberg View's Asia Editor Nisid Hajari contemplates5 the craze for smartphone health and fitness apps while counting the cost of his dry cleaning. Katherine Mangu Ward6 from Reason.com explains what 'fat American man standard' means, and Cindy Sui has the latest news from Taipei.
