Apply that to who got it and the state of the medical system at the time.

Were these deaths the direct result of the flu, or from bacteriological infections of the lungs due to pneumonic reaction from the flu?

You obviously didn't take my suggestion to do any research on the subject.

The last pandemic in 1968-1970 killed one million worldwide, and 34,000 in the US.

Despite the state of the medical system, there is no cure for another viral strain that causes the common cold, despite decades of opportunity to study it and find one. That's it's not deadly is just a matter of luck.

The 1918 outbreak was the first significant worldwide occurrence because troop movement in WWII and the increased popularity of steamship travel provided an opportunity for transmission and mutation. Compare that to the state of worldwide travel today.

The lesson is simple. Take care of yourself. Cytokine storm. See "Role in Pandemic Death."

Again, you have to look and see where this is coming from. You want to Panic? Go on ahead. I hear they are selling Theraflu at the local market. Pick up as many packages as you can! You never know what may come next!!!! The only panic in this thread is your posting. Is this going to go the route of the Smoking thread?

Virologists have been stating for years that another major pandemic is just a matter of statistics. The only defense is to treat any early suspicious cases with extreme seriousness, because after a few weeks, it would be too late. For the two extremes, panic is more beneficial than burying your head in the sand.
