Recent research of Taubenberger et al. has suggested that the 1918 virus, like H5N1, could have arisen directly from an avian influenza virus. [19] However, researchers at University of Virginia and Australian National University have suggested that there may be an alternative interpretation of the data used in the Taubenberger et al. paper.
Triadic closure is a concept in social network theory, first suggested by German sociologist Georg Simmel in his 1908 book Soziologie [Sociology: Investigations on the Forms of Sociation].

Going through a list of those that the player is either friends or enemies with, will then result if there is a positive or negative correlation between the two.

Another theory holds that the 1918 virus mutated extremely rapidly to a less lethal strain.

[83] Fatal cases did continue into 1919, however.
