About the
Lecture
This conversation will focus on the dilemma and social impact
of a repeat of the 1918-1919 flu in today's world.
It could kill more people worldwide than a full nuclear
exchange between nuclear-armed states.
Towards the end
of the conversation, questions will be invited from the audience.
