In the spring of 2009, America was rocked by a late flu outbreak that looked like the Spanish Flu outbreak of 1918. Like the Spanish Flu, this was an H1N1 virus. In 1918, the Spanish flu mutated over the summer and came back in the fall with a strain that killed 50 Million people.

 

In this documentary filmed in April 2009, Tommy Thompson, former US Health Secretary teams up with Director Doug Orchard and the CDC, FDA, and scientists to explore how the public can prepare for a possible pandemic flu outbreak.

 

 

This documentary film was available to the public through various official media outlets. It was released in June 2009. This is a 5-minute cut of the film uploaded in 2009.
