Want to know how many human cases of Avian Flu have been reported this year? 12 cases, 4 deaths as of 11 Feb. Can you define Avian Flu, and describe how it differs from seasonal and pandemic flu?

In addition to tremendous amounts of scientific information (links to research activities are here), there is a huge amount of information on the epidemic influenza outbreak of 1918, including a “storybook“with personal narratives (including some video) and a link to the Department of Health and Human Services’ web history entitled The Great Pandemic: The United States in 1918-1919.
