VIRUS HITTING CLOSE TO HOME

The so called “Spanish Flu” was the H1N1 virus that was also responsible for the Swine Flu, Bird Flu and the 2009 H1N1 out breaks globally. It hasn’t died out and still is with us. In fact, it is one of the variants included in annual flu vaccines.

Point is, once we can deal with this new virus, detect and treat it...it will probably be with us a long time. But it won’t be as scary as it is now.

When H1N1 was novel in 1918, it was devastating but is now managed. This virus is no different.

We just need time to slow it and develop treatments and vaccines so we can save lives.
