Edit: However, it should be noted that the 1918 Asian Flu targeted mostly 18-30 year-olds, I assume because these were the most active socially and therefore more likely to catch or spread the disease, however, bear in mind that in 1918, 30 was considered just past 'Middle Age' among working class Brits.

Really? I thought 18-30 year olds were mostly targeted because the influenza strain caused more damage in people with stronger immune systems, and hence there was higher survival rate among children and the elderly due to their weaker immune responses.

Hey, it's a thread on Gen. Disc. Assuming that it will eventually turn into a religious argument is a pretty safe bet around here.
