If there are a disproportionate number of deaths in youngsters, then I suspect that there must have been a virus around shortly before they were born which is providing partial immunity to those who had it.

That does not seem to be the answer. The immunities which can be measured do not predict for outcome. Immunity of course is useful to prevent the disease rather than deal with it after getting started. The deaths were for those who HAD the disease not the ones merely exposed to the bug and then did not go on to get sick.
