The Spanish flu hit young adults aged 20-40, a group that the Wuhan virus mostly doesn’t prey on. The Spanish flu also hit children, which our virus virtually ignores. I’m not an epidemiologist, but when compared to the Spanish flu, COVID-19 seems almost “benign.” The Spanish flu had a fatality rate of 2.5 percent , while the seasonal flu usually has a fatality rate of just 0.1 percent .

And note that there’s a vaccine for the seasonal flu while scientists have yet to develop one for Covid. So if the latest fatality numbers hold, then Covid will turn out to be much less lethal than the Spanish flu. But calculating the fatality rate is difficult, and
