It shows how many have the antibodies. But how many fought it off without the need for new antibodies, and how many Spanish are susceptible to the virus in the first place? I am getting the impression from this crisis that the science of immunity is still rather young. Fair?
More likely to die or have a serious case once infected isn't "more susceptible" to infection. There's no known population or subpopulation that is less susceptible and there's no reason to expect there to be one.

People living in sparse villages may be less susceptible to infection than those living cheek-by-jowl in cruise ships, right? The inhabitants of leafy Cornwall may be less susceptible than the inhabitants of London?

Spanish flu was less transmissible and spread to every town and city in the world 100 years ago when there was far less international travel and far less local mobility.
