I think I *have* heard something about how seniors are less likely to *catch* this flu, BUT if they *do* catch it they are more likely to die from it.

But again, it was something I think I heard on the radio and don’t have a source!

IIRC it's because their bodies are overreacting to it, and it's that overreaction that causes some serious problems.
