This is a little too close to our military in South Korea for comfort if it gets bad.

The military played a major role in the 1918 pandemic (and the flu may have played a role in ending WWI).

Yes,to the best of my knowledge,that flu was traced to Fort Riley,Kansas,as a starting point.

A killer flu in Korea could be very bad for the people of N.Korea.Many are already malnourished,if not outright starving and would have little chance against a bad bug.
