Notice what the NIH study found regarding excess mortality rates for that H1N1 flu:
"The age profile of excess mortality risk in fall 1918 was characterized by a maximum among infants, a minimum at ages 9–10 years, a maximum at ages 24–26 years, and a second minimum at ages 56–59 years. "
The mortality rate for 24-26 yr olds was 80 per 10,000, not the 1 per 100,000 in the table BobL found. I suspect that BobL was looking at a table for non-hybrid flu.

Let’s be fair here. I also saw the 80 number, and it’s per 100,000, not 10,000 and that includes things like gun shots, suicide, drug ODs, Cancer, accidents, and everything else. As to “1” number, that said “Influenza”, so I don’t know what it includes. If 1 in 125 women (which is 80 per 10,000) in that age group were dropping dead every year, there would be more hype about it than there was even about AIDS.
But, as it is, there’s an article saying that it may have been a flu shot. It’s probably a good idea for well-known conservatives to start getting flu shots in other countries, or at least under different names if here.
Something’s not right here...
It’s the cytokine storm that kills you - especially the immune-strong - from the flu. It’s like your lungs drown from your own immune system overreacting.
I have not heard the H1N1 is back. And san Diego is very close to here. Heartbreaking for her and her family.
