How many people die from the flu in a “normal” year in the U.S.? ~36,000 About 90% are over 65 years old /flu/about/disease/index.htm Spanish flu of 1918-1919 Killed between 20-50 million people worldwide; 675,000 in the U.S.(2.5%-5% of world population) Infected 1/5 to 1/4 of world population Was most lethal to people 20-40 years old /uda//uda/ Spanish flu of 1918-1919 People on their way to work suddenly developing the flu and dying within hours (Henig).One physician writes that patients with seemingly ordinary influenza would rapidly develop the most viscous type of pneumonia that has ever been seen and later when cyanosis appeared in the patients, it is simply a struggle for air until they suffocate, (Grist, 1979).Another physician recalls that the influenza patients died struggling to clear their airways of a blood-tinged froth that sometimes gushed from their nose and mouth, (Starr, 1976). /uda//uda/ The high fatality rate from the Spanish flu was probably due to an immune system over-reaction HIV, a retrovirus, infects Helper T-cells CB19.8 HIV reproduction CB19.8 Reverse Transcriptase: RNA to DNA HIV has both a lytic and lysogenic cycle CB19.8 /talks/lang/eng/nathan_wolfe_hunts_for_the_next_aids.html Where did HIV come from, and where is the next HIVesque virus?
