100 Years Ago,

this year, a plague stalked the earth,

  the 1918 influenza pandemic killed more than 50 million people, and is thought to have infected over 500 million people, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is commemorating the pandemic with several educational projects, 

including a retro adventure game, an easy enough game to play, it belies the fact that great though the carnage was in the First World War, more Americans died of flu in the pandemic than American soldiers did in battle in 1918, 

the chilling thought is that the next pandemic could only be a cough or sneeze away.
