It would have been interesting to see the insurance company opinion if the researchers in Svalbard (LYR) actually found live Spanish Flu virus (early 20th Century type) in the burried bodies in the graveyard near town - and if they actually caught the virus as a result of that. Of course, the whole world might have had had an opinion too!
