A few years ago the cdc had many of those bodies up to collect some samples of that flu virus. What they are going to do with it, who knows, but it can't be good.

Alaska and Russia, and also some lung tissue samples from dead soldiers in old lab libraries.
They did genetic sequences on the samples and from what they got they MADE a virus as close to it as they could. Then they tested it on ferrets (little animal with immune system similar to humans) to find out how it was communicated and spread and so forth.
So somewhere in a laboratory freezer there is a very bad virus. But they learned a lot about flu, and how important it is to get a universal vaccine for all flus developed, which they are a couple of years away from.

The military has every virus known in a freezer. They are highly controlled,
and so bad, it is too dangerous for the CDC to even have. They are kept at
a base north of Washington DC somewhere... Anyway, I don't think we
have to worry. It takes two people at a time to unlock the doors to even
get to the vials kept there. One person can't get to them. Very tight
security. Thank God!

Such useful endeavours, not. To think that top biologists created old and new viruses, brand new viruses meant to kill, and then killed the scientists to seal the deal. Real nice but ya know, ya gotta do what ya hafta do I guess when you're real paranoid the (globally diverse) rabble will pull you down off your stinkin' mountain, LOL. Well some think this is the case given the huge list of microbiologists and specialists in esoteric diseases, old and new, who died early or in very suspicious circumstances. After a couple of world wars, this is how our brains are thinking, I guess. I sure don't want to be around when the soft kill WW3 for global control starts but maybe we are already there? Alas, it seems that major aggressive acts creates hard wired aggression in human brains. Some days, it seems like we never got out of the 'flight or fight' of WW2.

in Kansas or Indiana that spread to humans at an Army base where U.S. soldiers were being prepared for shipping out to WWI in Europe. It spread to all the troops and sailors in the boats that took them over, and then around the world.
It was called 'the Spanish flu' because Spain didn't have very many, or any, troops in battle, and all the other countries would not admit that any of their soldiers were decimated by flu.
