Considering both my parents survived the 1918 Pandemic, I wonder if the immunity is passed on.

Apparently all our ancestors survived.

SAARS, Dengue fever, West Nile, AIDS...this record is definitely broken. The Spanish flu flourished and spread so quickly due to a non-existent pathognic containment policy and the crowded and squalid conditions of cities like Chicago, New York and Boston. But those facts aren’t sexy and don’t somehow jive with the position that we shouldn’t be in Iraq and that the money should be put into an even larger government bureaucracy to protect us from the new "Pandemic".

Both my parents survived it, my father would have been around five years old and my mother around two, I came close to death in the 1968 epidemic. I was twenty four years old and should have been the strongest member of my family but I was the one who nearly died.
