Where was the 1957 flu pandemic located Or where did it start?
The "Asian Flu" was a category 2 flu pandemic outbreak of avian influenza that originated in China in early 1956 lasting until 1958. It originated from mutation in wild ducks combining with a pre-existing human strain. The virus was first identified in Guizhou. It spread to Singapore in February 1957, reached Hong Kong by April, and US by June. Death toll in the US was approximately 69,800. Estimates of worldwide deaths caused by this pandemic varies widely depending on source; ranging from 1 million to 4 million, with WHO settling on "about 2 million". Asian Flu was of the H2N2 subtype (a notation that refers to the configuration of the hemagglutinin and neuraminidase proteins in the virus) of type A influenza, and an influenza vaccine was developed in 1957 to contain its outbreak. The Asian Flu strain later evolved via antigenic shift into H3N2 which caused a milder pandemic from 1968 to 1969. Both the H2N2 and H3N2 pandemic strains contained avian influenza virus RNA segments. "While the pandemic human influenza viruses of 1957 (H2N2) and 1968 (H3N2) clearly arose through reassortment between human and avian viruses, the influenza virus causing the 'Spanish flu' in 1918 appears to be entirely derived from an avian source (Belshe 2005)."
How many Asian models are there in the modeling industry?

If you have had Asian flu in the 1956 pandemic might you have some immunity to Swine Flu?
No, probably not. There is genetic material from Asian Pig Influenza in the A-H1N1/09 "Swine Flu", but it also has components of Avian (bird) Flu, European Pig Influenza and Human Flu. The new strain is very different from prior strains of the H1N1 flu or any other Type A Influenza viruses, so there should be no antibodies effective for A-H1N1/09m
What is the fatality rate for influenza?
For most forms of Influenza with no pre-existing health problems, the mortality rate is less than a quarter of a percent, or about 1 in 400. Cause of death is mostly due to respiratory failure, usually associated with secondary infections. (pneumonia etc..)Patients with compromised immune systems, the very young and very old, are much more susceptible.Some (rare) forms of influenza have much elevated mortality rates. Asian bird flu (H5N1) may have a mortality as high as 70%.The 2009 influenza A (H1N1) outbreak is of normal virulence at present, but its similarity in structure and origin to the 1918 pandemic flu has raised worldwide concern.
Should I be worried if there is an outbreak of Asian flu because during the bird flu outbreak all the birds were slaughtered and with this new swine flu outbreak many pigs are being slaughtered?
Are you Asian? If so, you are still not at risk of being slaughtered if the Asian flu breaks out in your area. [Assuming that is what your question means as a joke, otherwise the connections in your question are not clear.] In any case, if you get your flu vaccinations each year, you should be protected against the Asian flu if it has potential for spreading into your area during a future flu season. It is not expected to be one of the types of flu circulating in the 2011-2012 flu season in the US.
