The "Spanish flu" was a "Global" pandemic in 1918/19 ,it infected about 500 million people, with an estimated death toll of between 20 million to 50 million people.
"Sars-Cov-2" (Covid-19) is actually more deadly . But the todays medical support is a lot improved .
Today the flu can be cured with antibiotics and Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) and of course with the Flu-vaccine (prevention)
For Covid-19 , only God can help you and us with a ventilator , at least if there is one left ...
Meanwhile ,the only thing what we do is hoping for a vaccine ASAP ...
Mate , stay healthy !
