My paternal aunt was in her 40s and healthy before she died from the flu. The maternal uncle I never met also had no pre-existing condition died when he was 10.
I almost died from the flu at the age of 18, was also in perfect health and no pre-existing conditions.
No one is exempt.

When someone dies of the flu and you say “what pre existing conditions did they have?”….you’re saying the chronically ill are expendable.
When you say “only the sick & elderly die of the flu”… you’re saying they’re expendable.
We are not expendable.
