worse than usual, in 1918

How many became ill? More than 25 percent of the U.S. population.
What about servicemen, the very young and healthy who were the virus's favorite targets? The Navy said that 40 percent of its members got the flu in 1918. The Army estimated that about 36 percent of its members were stricken.

so do the math.. insert the variables of a much older population, the AIDS patients that will be wiped out, there are even more people with HepC than AIDS.. what will this cost, hospitals are closing..

will this be the tipping point for an economy on life support
