This flu has been around for centuries. From century to century it wipes out large numbers of humans. Last time it happened was in 1918 right after the first world war.
An experimental vaccine appears to be effective against a strain of flu virus that experts fear could spark a devastating pandemic, offering the first evidence that any inoculation could provide a powerful weapon against the deadly microbe, a federal health official said yesterday.
Two doses of the vaccine produced an immune system response potent enough to neutralize the virus in tests on 113 volunteers who were injected as part of a federally sponsored study being conducted at three U.S. universities.

Last week, two groups of scientists reported the results of the most sophisticated analyses of how a pandemic could be stopped. Computer models indicated that a pandemic could be stifled within about a week with drugs and quarantines.
A British firm has developed a bird flu vaccine which could be easily mass produced, officials say.
PowerMed's vaccine is further away from the market than others, but as it is a DNA-based, it may be easier to produce than traditional egg-grown flu shots.
The firm said 1.2kg of the vaccine, which is expected to enter clinical trials next year, would be enough to vaccinate the US population twice over.
