摘要：	While the Covid-19 pandemic has been officially declared over, respiratory viruses (like influenza, among others) continue to regularly cut a deadly swath across humanity. At longer intervals these outbreaks reach epidemic or even pandemic levels. Despite Covid-19, whose exact origin remains unknown, we are nonetheless overdue for another historically big flu pandemic, the last of which occurred during World War I and was incorrectly named the Spanish Flu (hint: it didn't come from Spain). It swept around the world with ease in four distinct waves from March 1918 to April 1920, well before the age of modern passenger aviation. It killed an estimated 25 million to 50 million people, and possibly double that. So, it's wise to be prepared to deal with the inevitable at our level. Plenty of gloves and N95 masks, anyone?
