Husband and I just got our flu shots yesterday but it doesn't protect against Evian flu.

Hopefully this supposed Evian flu pandemic will not happen BUT
if it does happen than I hope the government will be ready.

I heard recently that all flus are borne out of the avian population.

My Grandfather died of the 1918 flu. My Grandmothers letters and diary tell horrible stories about it. They even ran out of coffins to bury the dead.

That flu epidemic was devastating in my hometown. At the time it was named “Evansburg”, PA. The flu killed so many people that the name was changed to “Conneaut Lake” so the reputation as a death town would die with the old name. People were afraid to move to Evansburg – but not afraid to move to Conneaut Lake.
Fortunately medicine today has advanced a long way in the last 90 years.

Gee, I got a shot for the swine flu that was supposed to kill us all back in the late 1970's so I must be OK.

Avian virus? And all this time I thought it was Bush’s fault.
