That’s what I was looking for!!
Thank you for the summary!
You’re welcome. I was intrigued by her posts early on, and recall when she said that Ebola was most likely spread by fruit bats, and that there was a particular cave that would be an epicenter for those bats. That was well before that information was released to the news media, so I figured she was the real deal.
Everyone here was interested in Ebola because of its scare factor and the high mortality rate. She wasn’t all that concerned because it isn’t especially easy to catch. If you do catch it you’re in big trouble, but it isn’t airborn and highly infectious like the flu.
Her big interest at the time was probably a bird flu outbreak. She was using internet reports to track it. It was from her posts that I learned that it’s the hybrid flu that really scares the CDC. The hybrids don’t just kill the weak, they kill the young and strong too by making their immune systems go berserk. You can literally drown in your antibodies. “A cytokine storm”. In 1918 people would die within hours of developing symptoms.
Flu is one of the most easily transmitted of diseases and it mutates all the time. That’s why the flu vaccines are hit or miss, it changes so fast. And if an especially virulent hybrid pops up it can be expected to be a crowd killer.
