Covid-19 as deadly as 1918 Pandemic

Complete nonsense, totally different in all regards.<p>In 1928 the T Cell overreaction killed young healthy people with an IFR over 50%. You barely had a chance, there were no immunosuppressors known, 50m dead.<p>2019 kills only old or sick people like with the seasonal flu, with an extremely low IFR, 0.3% in the east, 1.0% in the west. The only problem is the lack of a vaccine. Still lower than in a strong flu season (600k - 2m dead) as with a swine flu (low HxNx)
