  • Biological warfare ??? me thinks

  • You survive the war as a soldier, come back home and die of spanish flu...

    The irony

  • What is this tuune? Watched this at school as studying war poetry and needed surrounding knowledge of before/after and during war events-Saw this and started dancing!

  • It is outrageous to think that H1N1 could of caused mass scale deaths like the 1918 pandemic. Of course many would die especially in poor nations without access to modern medicine but modern medicine would prevent most deaths in the industrial world (especially in healthy adults).

  • @cyrush5n1 hiv=rna vrius

  • I don't think so because in 1918,the technology just wasn't there yet.I'm not saying we could get rid of viruses,but we've the power to stop it from speading in large proportions.The 1918 flu killed more people than all the soldiers who were killed in WW 1 combined.

  • This was the last plague that it hit modern times.

  • ☣ haha

  • Then the epidemic came. It was madness, absolute madness! Moscow was dying! Dead people everywhere, accidents, suicides even. It happened very quickly, a matter of two, three days. Then only a few of us were left. For some reason I was not affected, not affected at all. The survivors, perhaps a hundred people, met up on Red Square every evening. It was as if we were magically pulled there...."

    The character Somerset in "Two Journeys"

  • influenza =adenovirus

    HIV=ribovirus
