In 1918 we experienced the worst flu pandemic ever
killing 50 million people worldwide and an estimated 675,000 Americans.
Most dieing within 24 hrs.
The effect of the influenza epidemic was so severe that the
average life span in the US was depressed by 10 years.
Sure we have better health care and better technology but does influenza
have a better strain. From the world's experience, history will repeat itself.
Maybe not now, but then its only a matter of when.
