Next pandemic
Description
In 1918, the Spanish flu killed between 20 and 40 million people worldwide. Now the search is on to find the early 20th Century virus in the hope that it might help mankind survive other deadly new strains. Recently the Bird Flu decimated thousands of chickens in Hong Kong. Had that virus learned how to jump to humans, hundreds of millions of people could have been dead in just one week. Unlikely? This astonishing story reveals the possibilities.
