The range 20-40-year-old!
That didn’t do Patrick any good.
Patrick was not very lucky, was he. He’s pretty close to the age range, though. I think in the 1918 flu pandemic, 50% of the victims were age 20-40. And 99% of the victims were under age 65.
The issue with that flu strain was that it killed people by an overreaction of the immune system. So, ironically, the people with the strongest immune system—young adults—were the ones who were most likely the die. The elderly and young, with weaker immune systems, were more likely to survive.
If it’s really modeled on the 1918 flu, Herschel, who is elderly, may well get sick, but he’d likely recover. Glen, though, is in some trouble.
