Thanks, Andy. Imagine there are many of us here who took the flu shot this year.
Any info is helpful.
If the shot doesn't help, there's always "Chicken Soup"..:~)

There is no "this flu". The story is talking about just another "what if". They are just speculating about what might happen if another super-virulent strain like the 1918 flu ever comes around again.
I'd say that the folks talking about it (for the 30th straight year) to the media are simply looking for increased funding and ego boosts.
I've heard speculation from research viroligists that perhaps the only reason the 1918 flu happened was because of the millions of men in the trenches in Europe.
