Sometimes it's good to be old

ABC News has an update on swine flu immunity in older people
Of the swine flu cases reported to the CDC, 64% are in five-to-24-year-olds and just one percent are in individuals older than 65... The H1N1 virus responsible for the 1918 flu pandemic continued to circulate in the population until 1957, when an H2N2 virus displaced it.
Rico says he may well have had H1N1 as a child, thus may be spared it now...
