nursing school. I remember her telling me that this flu was the cause for the end of WWI. (more casualties on each side from the flu than bullets and bombs.)

I remember reading about it college and it started killing people in Asia. it began slowly at first however once it hit training camps for doughboys in eastern Kansas. It then spread around the rest of the world on troopships very rapidly.

the ultimate death toll was horrific. something like 35million world wide. the only strains that modern science was able to "capture" was from frozen bodies in the arctic. bodies that had been frozen for 50 years and never decayed.
