don't know if this was the same thing i was watching
but it was totally fascinating talkin about the flu epidemic in 1918
and how it went world wide in a day
no airplanes flying to europe in those days
yet
in alaska which had a pop. of 50 k peeps
or eskimo's it wiped out 90% of-em
they're diggin them up now out of the perma frost
to experiment on the corpses which may still have the flu
they caught then .........to break the code with todays technology
in order to create a new vaccine
the wildest thing was that the flu bug arrived here via
a comet...
and it could happen all over again
