Seems the Flu of 1918, which killed 40 million people (quickly), is going to be fully resurrected to study. Monkeys will be infeced and the 8 flu genes will be studied for their virulance. What was the name of that movie...The Andromeda Strain?

I worked in that building a while ago before the UW bought it. It was part of a biotech company and at the time research was ongoing looking at the HIV virus and other infectious pathogens. In fact you would be hard pressed to find a place in downtown Seattle that is not close to some sort of bio-research facility doing work on something you may not want to know about.
