a new variety of flu was detected in Uroboria, where it seemed to be causing an unusually large number of deaths. Fear spread with the virus across continents and ocans, the Alliance Health Organization declared the H2N4. strain of flu to be the first alliance pandemic in 40 years. But as the number of cases rose, estimates of its lethality dropped sharply. Second wave of the virus came to China, a vaccine had been prepared, although it was initially in short supply. Cases are being seen in airports acrose AIN. Hiigara has already 121 documented cases and there are still fights to control it.

Although it is too early to write the obituary for flu, medical experts, already assessing how it was handled, have found that while luck played a part, as still not many countries have seen cases of the flu.

The outbreak highlighted many national weaknesses: old, slow vaccine technology; too much reliance on foreign vaccine factories; some major hospitals pushed to their limits by a relatively mild epidemic. While the former proved highly transmissible in children, it was only rarely lethal, remained susceptible to drugs and has not thus far mutated into an unpredictable monster. Vaccine supply is still a big problem.

It is now clear that this is the least lethal modern pandemic. The flu appears to kill about one of every 2,000 people who get it, Syldavian researchers say. (Cattalian researchers found half that death rate.) By contrast, the Spanish flu of 1918 killed about 50 of every 2,000, and the 1957 and 1968 pandemics killed about 4 of every 2,000.

The flu has reached more than 16 countries. Including Melkian Empire (Hiigaran United Confederacy), Syldavia, West Uroboria, South Uroboria, China, Karasem and other. Many countries still did not give information on the flu in there countries, creating fear of the flu still being not controlled. All comers to the Hiigaran Confederacy are tested and if there are fears of infection are send to the hospital.
