"The indication is that we will see a return of the 1918 flu virus that is the most virulent form of the flu. In 1918 a half million Americans died. The projections are that this virus will kill one million Americans in 1976."
-- F. David Matthews, secretary of health, education, and welfare talking about the Swine Flu in February of 1976 (and unwittingly reminding Americans 33 years later to keep things in perspective)
