41. One theory I have read...and it is only a theory, was that...
...the the elderly had been exposed to earlier strains of a similar type of flu and were therefore somewhat immunized from the 1918-1919 version of the flu.

Again it was only theory, but it kind of makes sense if you think about it. But I would not bet the farm that was the case. I personally think there were many different factors involved.
