HEALTH
The flu is coming: Are we ready for the next pandemic?
A hundred years ago, the 1918 flu pandemic swept the globe, killing 50 to 100 million people. Since then, there have been three more pandemics -- in 1957, 1968 and 2009. The next pandemic, experts say, is a question of when, not if. Are we ready?
