Transmission from kids to adults? I know elderly in the older areas of town have been wary of kids coming into the grocery stores in the retirement communities. Anyone who has had to deal with kids in day-care know what petri dishes they can be.
So you isolate grandma and visit her on Skype. You leave Junior with his parents. If three generations live together, will grandma get sick and maybe die? Yes, she might. This is not an easy situation for the old. And "old" can mean over fifty. If you have other health problems.
These flus sweep through and the worst ones, and this is a bad one, finish off people who had other things wrong with them but who might have lasted longer, without this additional disease.
It is still being learned about. It has just been discovered to cause excess blood clotting, and that is a big part of how it kills.
There is a LOT of recovering from it. Even the old don't all die of it.
