This is not a spanish flu only topic. Yes we have better health and medicine now but it did happen once so in my opinion it could happen again. Africa has been devastated by AIDs in some areas. Some African tribes and villages actually have a way to deal with outbreaks in that they close off their communities. This was shown during the ebola outbreaks. But get a deadly fast acting virus into one of the major slums of the world and you will see some serious head counts.
