Could this be another 1918? It looks like it is going that way.
What do you think?

There are it’s similarities between the flu now and the flu back in 1918, both are H1N1, and both started around march/april which is unlikely for the flu to start since it comes around late fall/winter. I guess we’ll have to wait and see, and hopefully it won’t mutate in a bad way.
With the medical advances that we’ve made since 1918, there is absolutely no chance that this incarnation of H1N1 will kill as many people as the Spanish Flu of 1918 which killed over 50 million people.
It most likely will be a bad flu season this coming fall, but as a society we are more prepared to defend ourselves against a viral attack. Over the course of the last century we’ve developed antivirals, antibiotics, and antiseptic medical techniques that weren’t even thought of in 1918.
The truth is people will die from H1N1 this flu season, but in the US every flu season around 35,000 people die from complications related to influenza. The question is how much worse will H1N1 be? I wouldn’t be surprised to see that number double this fall, but it will be no where close to the Spanish flu.
