Othwerwise known as "Bird 'flu."
The experts are now arguing about 'when', not 'if'
Anticipated fatalities are about half a million in UK, about 2.4 million in USA.
A Pandemic is overdue, but you know what the scariest thing is?
Every year a 'flu outbreak takes the lives of many old, frail people, plenty of babies, and a number of those with weak lungs and hearts.
But this one stands a good chance of being another surprise motherfu[/i]cker.
The "[i]Spanish 'flu" pandemic of 1918 killed millions. But guess what? Not the old, young or frail. Nope. The biggest casualties were fit, healthy 20-40 year olds.
Indications are that the high risk categories for the impending wastage are those who have the lowest Darwinian immunity.
Nice knowing you!
