This article was terrific. The detail in it was great and the knowledge gained from the article is good to know. The flu has been a disease I have known about my whole life, but I feel I truly did not understand it's past until I read this article. It also opened my eyes in the lack of healthcare in other countries where the flu is deadly to them.

A very detailed and well sourced look at the historic and present day death rates around the world as a result of the flu. It reads a bit like a research article, but that's because it is! Still very accessible to anyone willing to slow down and take the time to dive into this important data- and all it's implications.
