Interesting!

I lost 2 of my Great Grandfathers in the Spanish flu of
1918-1919. They were in their 60's. A good age to lived
to at that time.
That flu virus killed untold millions throughout the world
in short amount of time.
I tried to get my Grandmother to talk about it, but only
said a few words about this event, because it was so
horrific.
This virus affected mostly young, and healthy people.
My Grandmother's first boy friend was on a troop train,
on the way to New York to be shipped overseas to the
WW1 Battlefields. He came down with the flu, and had
to be taken off the train before it left town. He was dead
in a few hours.  That was the story, people will come
down sick, high fever, and are dead a few hours to a day.
Dead bodies would pile up, and volunteers had to
be found to bury the bodies.   You could not be caught
coughing in public, and it was mandatory to have a face
mask.
There was a special on the History Channel that would
verify the above facts.  
I always believed that that flu virus was manufactured in
a Laboratory.  It was an experiment that went horribly
wrong, or was it something else, such as planned population
reduction by the ruling elite.
What we should think of the Swine flu today!
