The World Health Organization tracks flu viruses for changes in their genetic makeup that would make them more deadly. But even exhaustive 21st century virology can only help health officials react to what's already happened. The best laboratory in which to study the flu virus is the human population itself. "If we get reports of a more severe infection with higher mortality rates, we can map the changes that made the virus more severe and monitor...
...more than 100 countries. By examining the genetic makeup of the viruses in these samples, scientists can make educated guesses about how lethal and contagious a pandemic will be. But they are only guesses. While exhaustive, 21st century virology can explain and illustrate what's already happened - and help health officials react - the only valid, real-time laboratory is the human population itself.
