Quite the opposite. The 1918 flu seemed to affected the healthy more than the sick. 20 something males were the hardest hit and children and the elderly seemed to get passed by.

Not only that but those who are at work are likely to be in greater contact with more people hence more likely to be infected.

Also the virus is likely to leave many people with long term disabilities, respatory (sp?) problems etc for which the US is very under covered/insured.

But don't let that get in the way of your pipe dream.
