Good point. Medical care has advanced a lot. I wonder how many cases went into bacterial infections? There are complications of illnesses that can be dealt with now. That would help.

Very true, but a massive outbreak of Avian flu would overwhelm the hospitals fast.
A local hospital may have beds for 100 ICU flu victims, but that doesn't help the other 1000 with their problems. The new technology will save many lives, but if we get a large 1918 style pandemic the resources will be tapped out fast.
