Sly, Spanish flu was a US virus that started in the U.S. Tenchu's fifth rule of partisan politics: Lies, Damned Lies, Statistics, and Hyperlinks. From the article that you linked to: While it’s unlikely that the “Spanish Flu” originated in Spain, *scientists are still unsure of its source.* *France, China and Britain have all been suggested as the potential birthplace of the virus, as has the United States*, where the first known case was reported at a military base in Kansas on March 11, 1918.
