Scientists have pieced together the 1918 flu virus, resurrecting for the first time the cause of a pandemic that killed tens of millions worldwide.
Two research teams report separately today that the virus, which was re-created using genetic information from a 1918 victim exhumed from Alaskan permafrost in 1997, offers clues to the virulence of the avian flu strain that has killed 65 people in Southeast Asia and is the focus of a global meeting of health experts today in Washington, D.C.
REST ASSURED: The public health risk of resurrecting the virus is minimal because people developed immunity to the deadly 1918 virus after the pandemic, and a certain degree of immunity is believed to persist today.
http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2005-10-05-birdflu_x.htm?csp=24I don't like that the 1918 flu was resurrected. And I'm not resting assured. I wasn't alive in 1918, and I don't know to what degree the immunity persists today.
