TIME.com: The 2005 Global Health Summit Blog - Virgin Buys Tamiflu: "Richard Branson, Chairman of Virgin Group Ltd. said today that his company is looking into machines and new technologies to put on aircrafts to kill germs in anticipation of a bird flu pandemic. He said his company has purchased 10,000 doses of the drug Tamiflu for his staff.
In response to questions about companies hording Tamiflu, Branson said, 'We've bought [Tamiflu] because our staff is on the front line.'
Branson also said that despite Virgin's best efforts to protect staff and passengers, if the flu starts spreading person to person, 'it will most certainly affect the airline industry.'"
