Exaggerate much?
BBC says the Spanish flu killed 50 million. I think there were more than 75 million people on earth.....even in 1918.

ummm....correct me if I am wrong....the Flu is a virus, so antibiotics won't help.....The only thing antibiotics will do is alleviate your symptoms.....

Are you thinking of Tylenol or Pepto or Tussin or something? ....unless you somehow get a secondary bacterial infection.....antibiotics won't do sh!t.....period.

The human body is fully capable of warding off sicknesses on its own. You must take into consideration that the flu used to kill people hundreds of years ago when nutrition was not where it is today. Many commonly consumed items today are enriched with important nutrients like vitamin C that help fortify our immune systems.

Unless of course a strain like the 1918 flue comes around and kills 2/3 of the world's population again.

again the whole modern day nutrition thing comes into play here.

"Modern day" nutrition is garbage compared to what we ate even 100 years ago.

The thing is that we actually understand how it works now, so those that choose to can eat healthy.
