Oh, yah that is the Iraqui Flu. Airborn AIDS. It's not really a problem as long as you don't travel to Madagascar, we don't let anyone off a plane or boat from from Madagascar, and you don't shake hands with anyone from Madagascar for the next 5 years. No problem. BTW, shaking hands or touching people, during the incubation stage, when people are not sick is the best way of catching the flu. Inhaling droplets from sneezes is the least likely. Flu,. however is contagious during the breakout of secondary stages as well, unlike a lot of other diseases. If you don't want ot get flus or colds, don't touch people. Be Victorian. The disease does sound like the Spanish Flu a bit. You should read up on that one. Started in US military camps and spread to Europe. It killed in a scant two weeks from onset. Unlike what you hear it affected people between the ages of 20 and 40, so it was called the young people's flu. And it was the flu that killed them, not complications, so modern drugs or treatment would not help. It was thought that the technique of isolation of diseased people was what helped mutate the strong virus once the disease took hold on the front during the war. Most of the inflation that caused the 1929 crash took place after WWII between 1918 and 1923. After that the 20's were relatively mild.
