I was born in 1951 and I don't remember the pandemics listed in 1957 or 1968. I was a senior in high school in 1968.

wow buffy your hot.

I was born in 51 also and I certainly don't remember those pandemics either, seems like the only pandemic in 68 was the one that snagged kids out of high school and put them in the army.

"I was born in 1951 and I don't remember the pandemics listed in 1957 or 1968."

I was born in 1943 and my only child was born in 1968. I don't remember them either. Maybe it was because it didn't kill 50% of the people who got it like this one is doing so far.(?)

The Democrat hero Soviets had their own pandemic in late 1956/1957 and in 1968. First in Hungary and then Czechoslovakia.

The 1957 and 1968 pandemics claimed about 100,000 total combined.

I read on the subject not too long ago, after a PR consultant tried to sell me on the merits of "pandemic planning" as part of a communications plan. The most recent pandemics weren't much more lethal than annual flu outbreaks.

Wasn't the one in 68 the Hong Kong flu? That was pretty bad whether or not. It went through our family and I was sick for a week and that was considered lucky, but my dad was out for a couple. He was really sick.

Cheer up. I was 22 years old in 1968 and I recall nothing at all of any unusual flu threat. I think this is just more shabby reporting.
