Idk dude. I like percents?
what do they even mean though?
Did these people actually have the flu, or flu like symptoms?
biggest thing with that is, you can't lump 18 year olds with 60 year olds and give data to scare the 18 year old.
if the number was simply 18-50 i'd feel better about it.
This is what i'm talking about though in researching flu data. They seem to only give data that fits their agenda of making everyone take the shot.
It is difficult to find actually data on a breakdown of age groups and who actually died from the flu and not from something else bothering their immune system at the time.
Why would a healthy 18-40 year old with no kids need a flu shot? They don't. But if they don't, someone misses out on some money.

Typically they probably don't, H1N1 is an exception to the normal rule. Even extending it out to 64 is typcially fine. That is why they have such a huge age gap in that research. Typically it goes after the very old and very young. H1N1 seems to hit that mid group harder. This is not an every year worry.
Look up Nancy Pinella if you want a specific average person it killed quickly. She is in the 40-50 age group.
