EBOFLU, Bird Flu, Ebola
The 1918 flu pandemic appears to have recurred globally as EBOFLU, so I am putting some information in here. This bird flu I call EBOFLU may be a mutation of that 1918 pandemic virus. The new bird / avian flu seems to be this EBOFLU. Apparantly swine flu is also mutated in with bird flu.

I draw my conclusions from the many news items I have come across this year, some found online and others sent to me by readers closely watching this specific outbreak in birds which migrate continent to continent. There is evidence dogs and horses and other animals have this virus, but it is misdiagnosed. Spanish flu or the 1918 flu pandemic was deadly, and killed thousands. I suspect this EBOFLU will be far deadlier, and the vaccines will be deadlier than the virus.

The USA and other countries have experimented with it as a weapon. There appears to be validity they may have crossed that flu virus with the EBOLA hemmorragic fever virus, and both are highly contagious and deadly. Graves of soldiers who died of this flu have been opened and this terrible virus re-awakened. A person could wake up feeling fine and by evening be dead, that is how powerful it was. This they wanted to re-create? DUH. The Spanish Flu article combines info from 3 links I found. Its hard to edit out information, there is so much there of interest.

Spanish 1918 Flu Pandemic
The Spanish Flu Pandemic, also known as the Great Influenza Pandemic, the 1918 Flu Epidemic, and La Grippe, was an unusually severe and deadly strain of influenza, a viral infectious disease, that killed up to 50 million people worldwide in 1918 and 1919. These numbers vary, depending on articles. Some nations called it the Spanish Flu. Spain called it the French Flu. It was one of the most deadly pandemics so far in human history. More people died of influenza in a single year than in 4 years of the Black Death Bubonic Plague from 1347 to 1351. It was a global disaster.

It first appeared as the common cold, however, was far more than a cold. In the two years that this scourge ravaged the earth, a fifth of the world´s population was infected. 1918 would go down as unforgettable year of suffering and death and yet of peace.

Many infections with similar but milder symptoms were recorded in the spring of 1918, with sore throat, headaches, dizziness, and loss of appetite. The earliest known cases were in Kansas in January 1918. Several local men were inducted into the army at Fort Riley, Kansas, where on March 4, 1918, a cook reported to the infirmary with a temperature of 103 F. He was soon followed by 2 more, and within two days 522 men at the camp had reported sick. In August 1918 the more deadly version broke out simultaneously in 3 locations — Brest, Boston, Massachusetts, and Freetown. Many of the worst outbreaks of the Flu were among soldiers, both at the front lines and in camps far away which soon spread into civilian populations.

SYMPTOMS, FAST DEATHS

People were struck with illness on the street and died rapid deaths. People without symptoms could be struck suddenly and be rendered too feeble to walk within hours, many would die the next day. 4 women were playing bridge together late into the night. Overnight, three of the women died from influenza. Others told stories of people on their way to work suddenly developing the flu and dying within hours. Patient would rapidly develop the most viscous type of pneumonia that has ever been seen, and later when cyanosis (blue skin) appeared in the patients, it is simply a struggle for air until they suffocate. Influenza patients died struggling to clear their airways of a blood-tinged froth that sometimes gushed from their nose and mouth. Symptoms included a blue tint to the face and coughing up blood caused by severe obstruction of the lungs.

Recreating the Spanish Flu

IDIOTS! October 9, 2003 - In 1918 and 1919, the Spanish flu killed up to 50 million people worldwide. This strain of influenza virus was exceptionally aggressive. Creation of this particularly dangerous influenza strain, as it is currently pursued by a US research team, may thus pose a serious biowarfare threat. In the mid 1990s, Dr Jeffrey Taubenberger from the US Armed Forces Institute of Pathology started to screen preserved tissue samples from 1918 influenza victims.

A sample of lung tissue from a 21-year-old soldier who died in 1918 at Fort Jackson in South Carolina yielded what the Army researchers were looking for: intact pieces of viral RNA that could be analysed and sequenced. In a first publication in 1997, nine short fragments of Spanish flu viral RNA were revealed. Mortality in the fast-progressing cases of 1918 flu was primarily from pneumonia. 2 much milder influenza pandemics followed the Spanish Flu: the Asian Flu in 1957, and the Hong Kong Flu in 1968.
