COMMENTS: Youth Attack
Only NBC stayed on the waning influenza beat. Robert Bazell followed up on the second swine 'flu death in Texas, a 33-year-old pregnant schoolteacher, to mention "the growing concern that this new virus is a disease mostly of young people." Even a thirtysomething is on the elderly side, with 15 being a patient's average age. Public health officials are puzzled. Were young people more likely to have been tourists in Mexico during the outbreak? Or are older people more likely to have immunity to the H1N1 strain?
