QUOTE ATLANTA, Georgia (AP) -- Scientists have made from scratch the Spanish flu virus that killed as many as 50 million people in 1918, the first time an infectious agent behind a historic pandemic has ever been reconstructed. now why would they do this.

my human geography teacher (she's also a Gov AP, and many other AP teacher) was talking about this today.. it was in a national geography mag for the past month i think if u get it..
they were talking that a ppl are talking about making a cure since there are people already dying from it... alot of talk of that it could take like 6 months so that everybody has it.. they said 1/3 ppl could die from it and this and that.. i aint pay much attention.. they said the breakout could come up here in 1 year and it takes 1 yr to make a cure for it... hmm these viruses usually come from birds... they usually spread to dogs and other animals and then human.. usually cuz we eat cows and stuff.. they said this flu is gonna be way harder than the last one.. |

hmm, I'm not sure but I THINK it would help if you read the replies! QUOTE(Spiritual Winged Aura @ Oct 7 2005, 9:44 PM) What's so special about the 1918 virus? I dont get it. How do they reconstruct the virus?  beside the fact that it killed 50 million people, ohhhh...it wasn't THAT special  They take out the plasmids from a 1918 victim, and you insert them into kidney cells. |
