The insights gained from this 1918 Swiss virus genome will help us build better models, establish evidence-based foundations, and ultimately, be better prepared for the next global health challenge.

How? they never address the most important point here. I read that the Spanish Flu virus was already studied. I believe from frozen interred bodies from an Alaskan "tribe" in Alaska's permafrost.

There were apparently several variants as they mutated and evolved..............

Correct. However, the virus quickly mutated. There was no one variant since it changed quickly. Comparing samples from multiple locations allows identification and tracking of the changes.

FWIW, one of my grandmothers died from the Spanish Flu in 1920.

Perhaps how to create new and more devastating viruses in “controlled labs”. Because that’s safe and effective...
