Well, at least they're starting to figure out it's probably man-made.

The Stand has to be my favorite Stephan King movie. I've never been able to find it for sale, so you wouldn't believe how much we spend renting it.

That America was engaged in a World War provided a convenient target upon which to heap suspicion: the reviled Kaiser and his German countrymen. As thousands of Bostonians fell under the flu's deadly spell, rumors began to spread almost as fast as the flu itself. One widely accepted notion -- outside of the medical profession, that is -- had German spies deliberately seeding Boston Harbor with influenza-sprouting germs. Such innuendo was lent credence by statements of individuals who should have known better. On September 17, 1918, Lt. Col. Philip Doane, head of the Health and Sanitation Section of the Emergency Fleet Corporation, forcefully voiced his opinion that the epidemic might have been started by Germans put ashore from U-Boats. Said Doane, "It would be quite easy for one of these German agents to turn loose influenza germs in a theater or some other place where large numbers of persons are assembled. The Germans have started epidemics in Europe, and there is no reason why they should be particularly gentle with America."

Michael Jackson is ahead of the curve. No nose and wearing a facemask equals less tainted air.
It's happened before...

• October 1918 turns out to be the deadliest month in the nation's history as 195,000 Americans fall victim to influenza.
November
• Celebrating the end of World War I, 30,000 San Franciscans take to the streets to celebrate. There was much dancing and singing. Everybody wore a face mask.
• Sirens wail on November 21, signaling to San Franciscans that it is safe--and legal--to remove their protective face masks. At that point, 2,122 were dead due to influenza.
December
• 5,000 new cases of influenza are reported in San Francisco.
