1918 flu

In the 1918 flu video I learned that the flu comes from birds. I learned that the h1n1 virus in 1918 was the deadliest flu recorded, it killed more people than world war 1. The scientist wanted to find out if it was possible to mix the avian virus with the h1n1 virus to see if it was possible to make the avian virus able to move from person to person.

In my opinion, it was to risky for him to try this. It's good to have gained this knowledge but the risk of accidently doing something and possibly starting another pandemic from it is to risky. I did think however, it was a very interesting experiment.
