Question

In the 1918 flu pandemic, why did more teenagers and young adults die than other

age groups?

1. They spiked high fevers that couldn't be controlled.
2. They didn't rest enough to heal properly.
3. Their bodies were healthier causing an immune system overreaction called a
cytokine storm.
4. They were more susceptible to getting the flu because they were the caretakers
of others who were infected.

Answer 1

4

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe it's four, scientifically speaking a young person most likely wouldn't die of infection because their immune systems can fight off the infection to some degree. But if the young person was the caretaker of someone who was/is infected, the younger person is more susceptible to getting an infection and dying because there is no one there to take care of them when they get infected.

Answer 2

their bodies were healthier causing an immune system overreaction called a cytokine storm
