Russian Expert Says Flu Epidemic May Kill Over One Billion This Year
The world is on the brink of a major flu epidemic — one that could claim more than a billion lives, the head of the Russian Virology Institute, Academician Dmitry Lvov said at a press conference organized by the RIA-Novosti news agency on Thursday.
"Up to one billion people could die around the whole world in six months," Lvov said. The expert did not give a timeframe for the epidemic, but said that it is highly probable that it will start this year. "We are half a step away from a worldwide pandemic catastrophe," the academic said.
I wonder what American experts are expecting? Combine this with vaccine shortages and you get chaos, and that's just the flu. Wow. I hope they're wrong.
