Right Fire and this is the first wave so now is the time to catch it....

I don't want to catch anything that is this unknown.

I bought a big box of n95 rated masks a few years ago for my preps. My daughter said that when she had my grandson at the Dr. the other day the staff were all wearing masks and handing them out to all of the patients.

Yea - I would think now would be the time to get it if at all...

Anyways here is this:

This part makes me feel so much better *sarcasm* :

"1918: Spanish Flu (which has the same scientific name as the new and ever improved "swine flu" of 2009)

The Spanish Influenza pandemic is the catastrophe against which all modern pandemics are measured. It is estimated that approximately 20 to 40 percent of the worldwide population became ill and that over 50 million people died. Between September 1918 and April 1919, approximately 675,000 deaths from the flu occurred in the U.S. alone. ***Many people died from this very quickly. Some people who felt well in the morning became sick by noon, and were dead by nightfall.*** Those who did not succumb to the disease within the first few days often died of complications from the flu (such as pneumonia) caused by bacteria.

One of the most unusual aspects of the Spanish flu was its ability to kill young adults. The reasons for this remain uncertain. With the Spanish flu, mortality rates were high among healthy adults as well as the usual high-risk groups. The attack rate and mortality was highest among adults 20 to 50 years old. The severity of that virus has not been seen again."
