But don't they have a point with the flu thing? As I understand it what we call Common Flu now is a strand of the Spanish flu which appeared in 1918, travelled back with the returning WW1 Soilders and ended up killing more people than WW1. The reason it doesn't kill as much anymore is we;ve built up an immunity to it. But every hundred years or so the Flu virus manages to mutate into a strain that can bypass our immune system and kill a high percentage that contract it. I think all the strains you have mentioned have the killer aspect, they just can't be airbourne yet and it's only a matter of time before one of them acheive this through mutation or cross strain breeding?
