Scientists who examined its DNA concluded it was nearly identical to a previous strain of the flu virus which had caused an outbreak between 1949 and 1950.

In nature, the flu doesn’t remain unchanged for 27 years as it circulates.

Flu is way worse than SARS2.

Killed so many more and kills young and old alike. Not just elderly and comorbid.
