What type of people were most likely to catch Spanish flu?
The Spanish flu of 1918 affected people of all ages, but disproportionately impacted young adults aged 20-40. Those with weaker immune systems, such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with preexisting health conditions, were also particularly vulnerable. Additionally, overcrowded living conditions and the movement of troops during World War I contributed to the rapid spread of the virus.

How many people have died to date from influenza?
Which subtype or strain of the flu can be a factor. The exact kind of flu virus infection, such as H1N1/09, is not being tracked, nor tested and counted any longer now that the pandemic is over. Therefore, this information is no longer available. Due to a good preventive vaccination program, many people are resistant now to H1N1/09 and the numbers would be expected to be significantly lower than the counts during the pandemic. In the US approximately 36,000 people die of one of the seasonal variants of flu viruses each year.

How many people have died from the Swine Flu on Vancouver island?
Since the daily and weekly counts of cases and deaths from the swine flu, which were initially required by the CDC, WHO, and national health departments of most nations have stopped since the pandemic was declared over, there is no way to know how many now. One reason is there are still ongoing cases scattered around the world even as of fall 2012. Another reason is that it was a burden on the reporting entities to try to track and report the numbers. And a large portion of people who had swine flu had mild forms and did not go to the doctor. Their cases could not be counted. And, if no lab test were done to confirm the specific type of flu, there is no way to know for sure if each case should be included in the count or if it is another type of flu. The treatment is the same as for other types of flu, so there is no real medical need for testing to determine what form of flu someone has in most cases. For this reason, there is no definite count possible on cases of this type of flu any more.
