Tamiflu, Help us.

but soon there were more and more confirmed cases and it became an epidemic.

The 2009-H1N1 outbreak took everyone by surprise. No one had information about the real risk, and the government didn't know what they needed to do and they made a difficult decision. They limited public events and restricted the opening of some public places, everything searching to avoid the spread of the virus. The spread was limited but there was collateral damage (1), the Mexican economy and our international reputation suffered. For example, many countries put restrictions on trips to Mexico and on the purchase of some supplies  such as pork.
Some months later, we knew that 2009-H1N1 outbreak was a new virus without high risk for human health. Nevertheless, the damage was done (2) but on a positive note, in Mexico we changed many bad habits: we were more conscious with respect to airway diseases and other ones. We clean/wash our hands more consistently and when someone has the flu, they take more care when having contact with others. Unfortunately, our concern about the flu now has a political use.

This year, the cold season has been delayed and we have a seasonal Influenza outbreak. When 2009-H1N1 outbreak happened, the main drug used was Tamiflu and now, everyone is using this drug to treat the seasonal Influenza outbreak but there is a lack of Tamiflu in private pharmacies. People against the local and federal government are trying to decree an outbreak emergency because they believe this is uncontrollable. I need to mention that public hospitals have a reserve of Tamiflu and they don’t have big problem with that drug.

Tamiflu is a drug to treat the flu but I think that a test needs to be done before prescribing it, doctors are omitting the diagnostic tests and they are prescribing Tamiflu for everyone, this is the reason of the lack of this drug (2). Also, for private pharmacies typically do not to have to keep  a big stock of a Tamiflu because we don’t suffer a flu outbreak all year, that is another reason that explains the current situation. Those kinds of things are things that people don’t know and politicians don’t say when they talk against the current government.
(1) damage--casi siempre singular, incluyendo en estas construcciones, "collateral damage" "the damage was done"

(2) casi siempre, there is a lack OF something. No decimos there is lack y punto.

Some months later, we knew that the 2009-H1N1 outbreak was a new virus without high risk for human health. Nevertheless, the effect was complete done  In Mexico we changed many bad habits, we were more conscious to respect to airways airborne diseases and other ones. We clean our hands more consistently and when someone has the flu, they had take more care with their contact with others. Unfortunately, our care about the flu has overcome a limit and now it has a political use. [Do you mean: Unfortunately, this issue is no longer only biological, it is now political. ??]

Tamiflu is a drug to treat the flu but I think that a test needs to be done before to prescribe it, doctors are omitting that actions and they are prescribing Tamiflu for everyone, this is a reason of its lack. Also, for private pharmacies aren't a business to have a big stock of a Tamiflu because we don’t suffer of flu outbreak all year, that is another reason that explain the current situation.
