But reading up on the spanish flu pandemic of 1915, that was nasty, 20-50 million killed, that's more than what died in the 1st world war which was at the same time but it just isn't given the same kind of attention.
If it does mutate and we are on the verge of another pandemic.. can only assume there will be more dead than last time.. and no-one in the world would be safe
scary stuff...

My memory must be fading... I thought it was the previous year -
But that was some killer flu.
About 10 years or so ago, they discovered the remains of a person who died from the spanish flu - And tests showed the likely cause was also poultry -
So chicken is off the menu -
Mad cows means beef is banned
Swine fever cuts out pork -
Guess you Aussies will be investing heavily in lamb now as that is most probably the safest meat!
