Sam--
 
I don't have exact numbers, but it looks like about half survive version 1.0 of bird flu.  You might want to look at the CDC website--they might have the info.

I wonder how, if it happens, it will be tracked and statistics kept of how many get it how many die etc.  It was not that well documented in 1918.  Now we have computers and databases.  But I suspect we shall have much the same problems in that people will be so busy dealing with it that they won't have the time or resources to document it.  People at work will have better things to do than record the progress of cases even if they can get reliable information on them  I wonder if there will be death certificates,  and who will write them if doctors are unwilling /unable to come out, or whether everyone will have problems getting their loved ones insurances paid etc if they die.  Beth

thanx Survivor--Can you imagine all the undiagnosed cases of fibromyalgia after the 1918 strain?  Of course, back then, there wasn't even a word for that disease, but I bet there were lots and lots of people who just felt tired and fatigued all the time.   Thanx for your info, it will be interesting to hear what your mom remembers.  I hope you feel better real soon.

Samantha, the cytokine storm causes inflammation of the organs, so your gm;s lungs probably got that hence poor later in life.

As for numbers no idea. the percentage is easy 100-55% but I'm sure you knew that anyway.

thanx Samantha--it certainly reads like a mystery story--so many unexplained details.  My father (now deceased) used to tell me stories about it too.  He was just a little guy, about 4-6 years old and living in Denver.  He remembered going to visit his sister, who was in the hospital after contracting it. (She survived.)  He remembers walking into the hospital ward and seeing row after row of bodies covered up with sheets.  It left an impression on him (scared him to death at that age) and he never forgot it.  You wonder how a little boy like that could have escaped getting it.  Please continue to share all your relevant ideas.
