H1N1 knows No Seasons

Unlike most flu viruses, H1N1 is not a seasonal virus,
but tends to survive throughout the year.
That according to Sunday's CBS 60 Minute report.

A four page text can be found at www.cbsnews.com
Some interesting facts in the report:
H1N1 is related to a virus outbreak of 1918, but is not as lethal.
The 1918 virus killed millions
Persons born before 1950 may have some immunity to this virus,
as there were similar viruses in the 30's and 40's.
