“True but the standard flu doesn’t make your lungs bleed until you die.”
Especially if you’re age 20-45 and healthy before infection
Out of the 36,000 on average deaths per year related to influenza how many of these are in the age range 25-40? Isn’t that the really important figure to know?

SirKit and I were discussing yesterday an article he'd read explaining why so many young and healthy people died of the Spanish Flu. Apparently, when the flu virus hit, because their immune systems were strong, they went to work on the flu virus, but went out of control and started attacking healthy organs. Their own immune systems apparently were the cause of their deaths. Scary.
