The Spanish flu of 1918 killed a lot of people in their teens and twenties. The people who just died of SARS were aged 37 to 52, I believe. Not old, certainly, but more accurately described as middle-aged than young, unlike many of the victims of the Spanish flu.

I was certainly thinking teens to twenties. Maybe what they meant was
younger than previous deaths. No children affected yet.
Time to take my vitamins!
