This pandemic was not something exotic or unusual, such
as bubonic plague, malaria or cholera. It was influenza:
plain-old, every year, flu. Yet this strain of flu killed more
people in a shorter time than any disease in world
history. In 10 months, it snuffed out somewhere between
21 million and 100 million lives, compared to the 20
