| #7 Some history of recent pandemic "Second Waves" - "H2N2 influenza virus [Asian Flu] continued to circulate until 1968, when it transformed via antigenic shift into influenza A virus subtype H3N2, the cause of the 1968 influenza pandemic." [Wikipedia] "The H3N2 virus [1968 Hong Kong Flu] continues to circulate worldwide as a seasonal influenza A virus." [CDC] "On August 10, 2010, WHO declared an end to the global 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic. However, (H1N1)pdm09 virus continues to circulate as a seasonal flu virus, and cause illness, hospitalization, and deaths worldwide every year."[CDC] |
