Reply #55: I was referring to age/health of typical victim

[northernlights]

Here is what I had read before, from the WHO:

"The majority of these cases have occurred in otherwise healthy young adults. Influenza normally affects the very young and the very old, but these age groups have not been heavily affected in Mexico.

Because there are human cases associated with an animal influenza virus, and because of the geographical spread of multiple community outbreaks, plus the somewhat unusual age groups affected, these events are of high concern."

In other words, it is the opposite of what you have written. These have not been typical victims of flu; they have been completely atypical.
