The Spanish Flu is being studied for its similarities to the Avian Flu/H5N1 Flu, which is currently running around killing people - the only reason it isn't a major problem is because the virus currently lacks the necessary mutation to jump from person to person, instead of just bird to person (though it wouldn't take much to change that). The reason both are so much of a problem is that both viruses infect the lower, more fragile portions of the lungs, making them much less easily dealt with and much deadlier.

Tuberculosis is making a comeback because of badly-implemented antibiotic regimens that created, in effect, "super-bugs".

There's no cure for AIDS and that's considered a pandemic, and as of 2009 it had killed around 30 million people, if you're looking for a current disease.

But your original objection was about a precedent for mass death via disease, so that's what I gave you.

No my argument is that Humans remain the superior species.

Doesn't mean we are invincible, but no microorganism or anything else has been able to supplant us yet. And I have more optimism then some about our chances.
