IF this is Spanish flu, HOW would it have gotten 'loose' in China? Could it have traveled to China, and some animals picked it up/passed it on to humans? Could it have been a bioterror experiment or benign experiment that went astray?

We always read about 'known' bioterrors and how 'they' are tinkering with them, to make them MORE deadly and less treatable. Couldn't this be such an instance? Not too long ago, China SWORE they would strike America within 5 years. Wouldn't it be a perfect cover if they did something like this, which would 'get pinned on' a diaperhead or sodom insane?

I assume there is some written record somewhere, that has stories of the Spanish flu, symptoms, how quickly it spread, and their treatment ?

The 1918 Spanish flu is thought to have originated in China (as strains of flu generally do.)

The question the diary entry in post 78 brings to mind is:
If corpses, that were buried in 1918 after succumbing to the Spanish Flu, are emerging from the permafrost, could the virus be reactivated if someone handles the body?
