That’s a number of people think, including Montoreme (screen name) the founder of the PFI forum. He’s some kind of molecular biologist or something similar. It ain’t over yet, either. The 1918 flu started before 1918 (they had worse respiratory ailments in 1916 and 1917 than usual) and wasn’t really over until 1920, and for about 10 years the regular flu season was worse than usual. It sort of died down gradually.
