WASHINGTON, July 13 (Reuters) - The new H1N1 influenza virus bears a disturbing resemblance to the virus strain that caused the 1918 flu pandemic, with a greater ability to infect the lungs than common seasonal flu viruses, researchers reported on Monday.
Tests in several animals confirmed other studies that have shown the new swine flu strain can spread beyond the upper respiratory tract to go deep into the lungs — making it more likely to cause pneumonia, the international team said.

I am no expert, neither do I play one on TV but from everything I have read about the 1918 influenza, and what is happening with H1N1, I suspected we were in for another 1918 like event. What you posted confirms my concerns, this is as I feared and VERY FRIGHTENING! Lord willing the powers that be will be able to come up with medicines and vacines in time to prevent another potential loss of 100 MILLION lives.
