Hi Jay: pleased to hear your family of PCs growing by leaps and bounds;

Re Flu: there's a flue and a flue. The virus (citing off my head, read quite some time ago) has six (?) subunits, which are much like a Rubik's cube. Plus chicken can provide some refreshing additions as well (the virus has a lot of relatives in birds). Once the combination is done, you get a flue (or a flue or a flue).

Or an epidemy, like in 1918-1919. Of the U.S. soldiers who died in Europe, half of them fell to the influenza virus and not to the enemy (Deseret News). For instance.

The practical problem is the delay between the outbreak and the reaction to it - need to identify the pathogen, then inject gazzillions of chickeneggs to produce the vaccine etc -.

But I guess I am repeating the known...

Gold fell out of bed today. What's the latest on that subject, folks?
