Tornado Alley (PROG)

[DragonBear]

So I guess you are relying on a flu from China that wasn't nearly as fatal as the one from Kansas

By what documented metric? Were different variants involved globally, and how was that reported, when during that time period science couldn't differentiate variants? Did the Chinese gov of 1917 have the capability to accurately report mortality rates? For any higher mortality rates in E Europe was that due to the virus "variant" or due to starvation, poor hygiene, and displacement due to WW1?

You just can't time warp today's epidemiology standards back to 1918, and claim there was a different more virulent variant virus strain in Kansas. Or that the variant which came to dominate Europe had to be from Kansas.
