Most people today have a level of immunity to the H1N1 flu, which is now regarded as a relatively low threat. Kawaoka genetically manipulated H1N1 so it can "escape" our neutralising antibodies. This would make the human immune system—and population—unable to resist an outbreak.

I know it might be hard for some of you, but it is possible to disagree in writing with someone without resorting to name calling like in kindergarten.
Please try harder.

Kinda presumptuous for a NOOB.
How are things at DU, anyway?

Don't you have "search image on Google" on your browser?

Right-click on the desired image and the option should be on the context menu. There's an extension for Firefox that you have to get in Add-ons: Search by Image for Google 1.2.0.

It's from Resident Evil: Afterlife - the prison scene & the Axeman.
