That raised the terrifying prospect that humans could be completely unresistant to it, potentially leading to a pandemic. The Spanish flu pandemic of 1918 to 1919 killed about 50 million people. The most recent pandemic was the Hong Kong flu that killed about 1 million people from 1968 to 1969. "We are very, very concerned," WHO spokesman Thomas Abraham said, according the AP.
