Yup, this. Flu virus loves to mutate, and this one has a lot of hallmarks of the Spanish flu, which wasn't all that bad until it's 4th or 4th mutation. So this flu virus can still come around and bite us all in the *** something fierce. Of course by that point we will all be so jaded over them "crying wolf" that we might not take it seriously
