People who were 20-30 years of age were disproportionately likely to die from the 1918 flu. My grandmother was 28. She caught it when it hit Washington in October. She was cared for at home, and nearly died, and no one else in the house caught it. She also got the second wave in the early Spring of 1919.

So, watch this flu—Is it killing young adults disproportionately?

Don’t forget: Woodrow Wilson kept shipping men over to France even though the generals told him the war was won and the Army doctors pleaded that the flu was killing the men like flies on the ships. Wilson wanted lots of troops in Europe so he could claim as much credit as possible for winning the war, and strenghthen his hand at Versailles. Fascist fiend.

In Mexico, most of the folks that have died are male, ages 23 - 44. Pandemic style.
