influenza =adenovirus

All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach.

It could recombine with H5N1, another flu virus. But with HIV????? That is science fiction my friend
h1n1 will come bak its very likely it will mutate but we r so well prepared! if it is a bad one half a million people will die in the uk-my dad had meetings about it he had to represent liverpool schools and my friends grand dad is making the vaccine
lol this is my band name its badass
The 1918 first wave was so mild no one really noticed it- this 1st wave is noticed and it will be recombined most likely with another virus out there… could be H5N1 bird flu or even the HIV .
the 1918 flu was less severe than what’s going around now- in this, the 1st wave of the PANDEMIC 09′- which is much worse than the seasonal flu (duh). Wait till it recombines with something more leathal perhaps H5N1 (60-80% deadly) . Oh U have no idea.
tubercolosis kills 1 person every 20 seconds the swine flu is nothing compared to that. tubercolosis kills about 7 millions each year! swine flu? 12 people in 3 weeks
Did you people know that still today it is still the Black Death in some poor countreis.
Once a year 1000 – 2500 people die of it.
*The Swine Flu is not dangerous.
6 People died in 2 WEEKS.
That is nothing for the many billion people on this planet.
Dont be afraid of it
hopefully this doesnt end up like i am legend the movie virus
my god have mercy on our souls “pandemic 2009″
watch the last video I faved. it ‘s not very good quality but it has a link to the original PBS video on it. H1N1 was recreated in a lab because no live H1N1 existed to study : /
Yep this cant be good lol
A H1N1 virus(swine flu) caused the 1918 pandemic. The 1918 flu started in spring too. If your watching this you probably already know : )
WWI ended in November of 1918. The “Spanish” flu may have started spreading as early as the spring of 1917 but was definitely recognized by March of 1918 – about 9 months before the end of the war.
we wont be fuck if a new one came out
make ur immune system high as can be..avoid those chemtrails and u’ll be fine. either that or detox. vaccines make our immune system get used to it…we need that not….
your understanding of viruses isn’t quite sound. the thing is, the bubonic plague IS still around, it’s just that we’ve become immune to it. if a new mutation of bubonic plague came out of the woodwork, then we’d be fucked. however h5n1 is in fact both more virulent and more lethal than the plague. it’s just that we have amazing health and hygiene these days compared to when the plague struck, so when the plague hit, it hit hard and didn’t stop until about 200 years later.
This song rules.
dyehard321- True
Yea! you are right… but the bubonic plague killed almost half the world…
Actually it is still killing today and people become infected pretty regularly (CDC reports figures of around 20 people a year in the US alone become infected). This is why you need so many shots if you want to go to countries such as Africa.
It is easily cured by today’s medicines and vaccines, however very poor countries do not have access to these so deaths from bubonic plague still occur in these countries.
NO its not still killing today if it was then the world would probably be extinct right now… and the black death was ALOT worse. the SPanish flu pandemic only had 48 Million deaths in total
! And no the bubonic plague isnt stil killing today or the spanish flu… and if the bubonic plague was still around like it was 500 years ago, we’d all be dead right now
That’s too large of a gap to be credible I think. It doesn’t matter, both were huge disasters. I don’t really want to argue on which gets the credit for killing the most people, lol.
It actually was worse and has been stated by the World Health Orginaztion. The Pandemic killed between 20 million-100 million people Globally
The Influenza Pandemic of 1918 wasn’t caused by an avian virus like the Bird Flu. Nobody knows the origin of the Pandemic of 1918 and probably never will. Many sources though, state that it may have originated in Kansas from the burning of manurer.
