The term 'KIND OF FLU' can refer to two different types of influenza viruses. The first is ASIAN Flu, which is a type of influenza A virus that was first identified in China in 1957. It spread quickly around the world and caused an estimated two million deaths. The second is AVIAN Flu, which is a type of influenza A virus that primarily affects birds, but can also infect humans. It was first identified in 1996 and has caused several outbreaks in poultry and wild birds since then.
