Reply #5: You're right - the "healthy" part hasn't been verified

Instead, we're getting incomplete and possibly confusing reports like this:

Córdova said the flu was targeting rich and poor people alike and that the most serious Mexican cases were in people between 20 and 50, unlike other types of flu that target children and the elderly. The eight patients who have gotten sick in the United States were all children, and all have recovered, he said.

"There may be other factors that give immunity to children," Córdova said. "That's the only explanation we have now; I think there is much research to be done in that area."
