Spanish Flu (1918-1919), Asian Flu (1957-1958), Hong Kong Flu
(1968-1969), Russian Flu (1977-1978).
All were world-wide epidemics, claiming hundreds of thousands of
lives. All are related to each
other. The flu virus mutates yearly –
so this year’s vaccines may not be good for next year. The flu virus is carried by birds and pigs
until it mutates into something that can be passed to humans.
