Scientists used preserved lung tissue samples from victims of the 1918 influenza pandemic to isolate and identify the virus responsible. They also compared genetic material from these samples to influenza viruses that circulated in animals at the time, helping to pinpoint the origin of the virus. Additionally, historical records and clinical symptoms helped researchers understand the impact and characteristics of the 1918 virus.

What disease killed millions of people during 1918 to 1919?
The influenza pandemic of 1918 to 1919, also known as the Spanish flu, killed millions of people worldwide. It is considered one of the deadliest pandemics in human history.
Why does BB stand for battleship and not just B?
Prior to 1920, US battleships WERE designated with just the letter "B." However, after WW1 (1918), newer naval ships began to enter the USN inventory, different types of vessels...submarine tenders, Lighter than air support ships (for the Blimps, aka Air Ships), etc. These types of vessels couldn't be designated with just one letter, they required two, sometimes three letters. Consequently, in 1920, the USN designated the B (Battleships) and D (Destroyers) with two letters for uniformity sake; BB & DD. When performing paper work, it cut down on errors, and was easier to read, type, and organize.
What number one killer of humans?
The number one killer of humans worldwide is cardiovascular disease, including heart attacks and strokes. These conditions result from a variety of risk factors such as high blood pressure, smoking, and poor diet leading to heart and blood vessel damage. Preventative measures such as exercise and a healthy diet can help reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
How does the second creation story agree with modern scientific study?
It is hard to see any connection between either biblical creation story and modern scientific knowledge. The idea that God created a male person long before he created a female of the same species is scientifically absurd. In Genesis chapter 2, God created Adam then the beasts of the field, yet scientists know that humans were among the last creatures to evolve. The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, and the Tree of Life have no scientific explanation, although they serve a literary purpose as allegories.
About Alexander Fleming?
Sir Alexander Fleming was born at Lochfield near Darvel in Ayrshire, Scotland on August 6th, 1881. He attended Louden Moor School, Darvel School, and Kilmarnock Academy before moving to London where he attended the Polytechnic. He spent four years in a shipping office before entering St. Mary's Medical School, London University. He qualified with distinction in 1906 and began research at St. Mary's under Sir Almroth Wright, a pioneer in vaccine therapy. He gained M.B., B.S., (London), with Gold Medal in 1908, and became a lecturer at St. Mary's until 1914. He served throughout World War I as a captain in the Army Medical Corps, being mentioned in dispatches, and in 1918 he returned to St.Mary's. He was elected Professor of the School in 1928 and Emeritus Professor of Bacteriology, University of London in 1948. He was elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 1943 and knighted in 1944.Early in his medical life, Fleming became interested in the natural bacterial action of the blood and in antiseptics. He was able to continue his studies throughout his military career and on demobilization he settled to work on antibacterial substances which would not be toxic to animal tissues. In 1921, he discovered in «tissues and secretions» an important bacteriolytic substance which he named Lysozyme. About this time, he devised sensitivity titration methods and assays in human blood and other body fluids, which he subsequently used for the titration of penicillin. In 1928, while working on influenza virus, he observed that mould had developed accidently on a staphylococcus culture plate and that the mould had created a bacteria-free circle around itself. He was inspired to further experiment and he found that a mould culture prevented growth of staphylococci, even when diluted 800 times. He named the active substance penicillin.Sir Alexander wrote numerous papers on bacteriology, immunology and chemotherapy, including original descriptions of lysozyme and penicillin. They have been published in medical and scientific journals.Fleming, a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons (England), 1909, and a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians (London), 1944, has gained many awards. They include Hunterian Professor (1919), Arris and Gale Lecturer (1929) and Honorary Gold Medal (1946) of the Royal College of Surgeons; Williams Julius Mickle Fellowship, University of London (1942); Charles Mickle Fellowship, University of Toronto (1944); John Scott Medal, City Guild of Philadelphia (1944); Cameron Prize, University of Edinburgh (1945); Moxon Medal, Royal College of Physicians (1945); Cutter Lecturer, Harvard University (1945); Albert Gold Medal, Royal Society of Arts (1946); Gold Medal, Royal Society of Medicine (1947); Medal for Merit, U.S.A. (1947); and the Grand Cross of Alphonse X the Wise, Spain (1948).He served as President of the Society for General Microbiology, he was a Member of the Pontifical Academy of Science and Honorary Member of almost all the medical and scientific societies of the world. He was Rector of Edinburgh University during 1951-1954, Freeman of many boroughs and cities and Honorary Chief Doy-gei-tau of the Kiowa tribe. He was also awarded doctorate, honoris causa, degrees of almost thirty European and American Universities.In 1915, Fleming married Sarah Marion McElroy of Killala, Ireland, who died in 1949. Their son is a general medical practitioner.Fleming married again in 1953, his bride was Dr. Amalia Koutsouri-Voureka, a Greek colleague at St. Mary's.In his younger days he was a keen member of the Territorial Army and he served from 1900 to 1914 as a private in the London Scottish Regiment.Dr Fleming died on March 11th in 1955 and is buried in St. Paul's Cathedral.-xoxPookie

What infectious agent is involved in Swine Flu?
"Swine flu" is a viral infection of swine (pigs). There is evidence that this virus is the same that infected humans in the 1918 pandemic. It has been labeled the N1H1. There has been controversy that the flu now is a variant of this 1918 flu. We are not sure where it started: pigs or humans? "Swine flu" H1N1 virus produces similar influenza-like illnesses. Symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue and some diarrhea and vomiting. The present H1N1 virus is not zoonotic swine flu, as it is not transmitted from pigs to humans, but from person to person.
