The Spanish flu , also known as the 1918 flu pandemic, was an unusually deadly influenza pandemic. Lasting from January 1918 through December 1920 which is nearly two years. It infected 500 million people which is about a quarter of the world's population at that time. The death toll is estimated to have been anywhere from 17 million to 50 million, and possibly as high as 100 million, making it one of the deadliest epidemics in human history. The 1918 flu was first observed in Europe, the United States and parts of Asia before swiftly spreading around the world. At the time, there were no effective drugs or vaccines to treat this killer flu strain. Citizens were ordered to wear masks, schools, theaters and businesses were shuttered and bodies piled up in makeshift morgues before the virus ended its deadly global outbreak. Please let us be vigilant and take precautions on this virus. https://www.history.com/topics/world-war-i/1918-flu-pandemic https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_flu |

Ebola is/was deadlier than this COVID-19. It has a high mortality rate and even a dead infected person can still spread it. If the world could contain Ebola that started from a poor developing country, why couldn't it contain one that started from a developed country? If China had taken this serious when it started, it wouldn't have got to this. |

UnknownT: Ebola has more mortality rate, but less infectious than this Covid-19. The problem with the Covid-19 is it's ability to infect a large number of people at the same time due to its high infectious rate, overwhelming and paralyzing a country's healthcare system and economic activities. In the long run, ebola may prove more tolerable/preferrable than/to this. |
