Same Flu virus that caused the 1918 pandemic is back
H1N1, the same strain that killed over 50 million in the late 1910s, is back. Will another pandemic happen?
Flu season has officially begun, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and this year the infamous strain known as H1N1 is dominant. That’s the same strain that killed at least 50 million people and infected nearly one-third of the world's population a century ago, between 1918 and 1920.
