The influenza epidemic of 1918 hit young, healthy males (especially US
soldiers who were returning from WWI, who were the main vectors of the
disease here in the States ) especially hard -- there were whole hospitals
full of 'em, dying...and it bypassed many (older, frailer, etc.) who were
thought to have been susceptible to it.

Some older people might have been previously exposed to a virus that was
close enough to provide immunity?

Possibly. That influenza epidemic was a major horror show, and it curiously
does not reside in the US "collective memory", except as a footnote. A few
years ago the Public Broadcasting System had a documentary on it. The
newsreels were amazing -- whole hospitals of young men sick and dying, whole
families wiped out seemingly at random, whole city centers emptied (there
were not enough morgue employees in Philadelphia to pick up all the dead,
who were stacked in the streets like cord word; the downtown was deserted,
kind of a 1918 version of _12 Monkeys_). There was a mass immunisation
programme, but it was a prophylaxis against *bacteria* (viruses had not been
discovered yet), so it was totally ineffective...yet the epidemic ended as
quickly and mysteriously as it had started.
There are several good books on the subject. It's as close as we've ever
come to medical mass panic and societal chaos in our modern
history...millions around the world died of it.
Interestingly, a few years back expeditions were made to gravesites in
either northern Canada or Alaska. The purpose was to exhume the remains of
some of the people who died of influenza in 1918 (bodies are relatively
presevered in permafrost up there), take tissue samples, and study the
virus.....

There are some domestic issues that could be improved in this country, but after being in Europe and
elsewhere I don't have much to complain about economically. Besides, the snow has finally melted and now
the cows can get out to graze as nature intended them to ;-)

Would that be because the US pushed for an arms embargo once they decided
they didn't want to sell arms to Iraq anymore?
