Sad to say, there is currently NO WAY to cure, or prevent a virus disease. If there were, there would be no more "common cold", no more AIDS, no more M.S., the list goes on. My great Aunt "Daisy" was one of the 1918 Pandemic victims...I have family writings & old photos of her. She was a young beauty, the family was devasted. All that said, I'm pi$$ed at our mainstream press for making it such a media event. It's as if they, the network and print media both, love scaring the krap out of us, without offering any meaningful solution... Vash? For many decades, the British square rigger, "Cutty Sark", held the sail record for crossing the Atlantic...I forget the exact time, but it was around 3 weeks. Sailing ships were fast enough...steam ships were much faster, and they were around in 1918. Ever hear of the Titanic?
