That’s probably during the first wave. The second one was scarier, peaked in october – november 1918. The virus had mutated in a way that it caused your immune system to overeact and kill you. Because of that specific mutation, the stronger your immune system, the more chance you had to die. The victims of the second wave were mostly healthy adults between 20 and 40.
Health professionals didn’t know how to deal with that.
But the people who got sick and survived the first wave were immuned after.
