Timeline: The secret history of swine flu

A brief over view of the evolution of influenza through the years.

I once heard an in depth account of the 1918 pandemic from a client in St. Pierre. It was a brilliant little peek into that part of our history. I guess I'm dancing naked through this one. Here's hoping we see you all on the other side.

I noticed the mention of the Guillain-Barré syndrome trouble in 1976 in the provided link. Then there was the Thalidomide trouble while my Mum was busy with me. She's a smart woman, but I digress.
