Neuraminidase inhibitors are effective against all variants that have caused disease in humans, including the virus of the 1918 pandemic (Tumpey 2005). In human H5N1 influenza, treatment with an oral neuraminidase inhibitor, oseltamivir, seems to be effective in some cases, but may fail in others.
A: An equity-indexed annuity is an alternative investment to a traditional fixed rate or variable rate annuity, and it may be appealing to moderately conservative investors. Equity-indexed annuities are distinguished by the interest yield return being partially based on an equities index, such as the S&P 500 index.
Indexed universal life (IUL) allows the owner to allocate cash value amounts to either a fixed account or an equity index account.Policies offer a variety of well-known indexes such as the S&P 500 or the Nasdaq 100.or example, if the gain is 6%, the participation rate is 50% and the current cash value total is $10,000, $300 is added to the cash value [(6% x 50%) x $10,000 = $300]. IUL policies typically credit the index interest to cash accumulations either once a year or once every five years.
