- Little known fact about the 1918 flu pandemic: At first it came around like a normal flu, but next flu season it had gained in virulence and came back to kill tens of millions.

Could these events be the ultra-elites' rough-shod way of doing something to mitigate global broiling when politicians haven't the political will to do anything substantial?
