While the 1918 H1N1 virus has been synthesized and evaluated, the properties that made it so devastating are not well understood. The high mortality in healthy people, including those in the 20-40 year age group, was a unique feature of this pandemic. Mortality was high in people younger than 5 years old, 20-40 years old, and 65 years and older. The number of deaths was estimated to be at least 50 million worldwide with about 675,000 occurring in the United States. It is estimated that about 500 million people or one-third of the world’s population became infected with this virus.
