1968 Pandemic (H3N2 virus)

[Willie99]

[FONT=&quot]The 1968 pandemic was caused by an influenza A (H3N2) virus comprised of two genes from an avian influenza A virus, including a new H3 hemagglutinin, but also contained the N2 neuraminidase from the 1957 H2N2 virus. It was first noted in the United States in September 1968. The estimated number of deaths was 1 million worldwide and about 100,000 in the United States. Most excess deaths were in people 65 years and older. The H3N2 virus continues to circulate worldwide as a seasonal influenza A virus. Seasonal H3N2 viruses, which are associated with severe illness in older people, undergo regular [/FONT]antigenic drift[FONT=&quot].

Did you know? Events like Woodstock took place before they found a cure? Or a vaccine?

I'm not sure even one business was closed by the government

Especially since we didn't have Dr Fauci, Mario Cuomo, Barack Obama and CNN there to save us

About 100,000 in the US. We are going to surpass that easily WITH a shutdown. What do you not understand

How did I forget Mob?

Sorry Mob, we didn't have you there to protect us either (or were you the white dude participating in the Newark riots?)

What's Mob? Is that a new virus or something? Sounds hideous.
