Texas couple on holiday in Fiji die from unidentified illness

This sounded much like the 1918 accounts I have read, but the NY Post article was the only “flu” reference I could find.
I wonder if it is the flu, if NY Post will re-think it’s position after a few die... after ten thousand die... who knows anymore?
If it was in fact an influenza strain that killed the couple in Fiji it should have been identified early on, first as influenza and then as known strain or novel strain. No reason it should take days or weeks to get the preliminary indication. Possible the identification has been made but is being held up for political reasons.
