Thanks for the link to that prior thread. The article to which it links has a lot more info on what's being done to investigate flu viruses and develop vaccines.
Good stuff, thanks.

The truth is, I was last of all -- I was going to post a similar story, but checked, and found all these others. Very nice to see the interest in such things by so many people.

That is NOT the reason the young died more than the older folks. The flu provoked an extreme reaction of the immune system. Younger people, who had healthier immune systems had their lungs destroyed by the over reaction of their immune systems. The older people got real sick, and recovered slowly.
Details can be found in John M Barry's book: "The Great Influenza"
