WASHINGTON (AP) - The 1918 influenza virus that killed more than
20 million people worldwide originated from American pigs and is unlike any other known flu bug, say researchers. They warn that it could strike again.

not to be an alarmist: but since it was sooo way before our time...
execept for maybe capesams and the clammah (just kiddin guys) 
that just like the vietnam war....many young people today, don't realize it's meaning and or dont think that the holocost (for example) was even a true event....

I've got a few doctors from Newport Hospital who come into the shop regularly and they've thoroughly spooked me about this whole bird flu thing. Nothing like dying due to your lungs filling up with fluid.
I thought I read the 1918 virus originated from birds but maybe my memory is playing tricks on me.
We could of course get lucky and it won't happen in our lifetime. Or we could get unlucky and there will be a pandemic...
