Listen one more time:

I meant that Flu normally kills only people with weakened immune systems.

And if you are seriously comparing SARS to the Spanish Flu, you have made the point that it is nasty stuff.

Listen. ONE more time.

" NORMALLY ? As in just an everyday, common variety flu ? That's besides the point ! The Spanish, Asian, and Hong Kong flus KILLED people who did NOT Have " weakened immune systems ". That's a FACT ; not some pulled out of thin air supposition. Look it up. Oh, and BTW, I actually am a survivor of the Asian Flu. It was ghastly.

You've now backtracked THREE times. Perhaps the better part of valor, would be for you ( and everyone else, who aren't really medical/ historical experts ) to just keep mum. :-)

I'm not the one comparing the two ; the article did that. It's also factual, that the Spanish, ASian, and Hong Kong flu pandemics were VERY serious; far MORE serious and also TRUE pandemics ; which SARS isn't.
