I’m not convinced it has actually killed more than Spanish flu. The estimates for that are 500k to 850k with most around 700k, but they didn’t have PCR tests and weren’t attributing every death of a person with a positive test in preceding weeks to the flu virus. The US population at the time was also less than a third of what it is now, so mortality rates were actually multiples higher than Covid. And most everyone was susceptible, rather than just the very old or otherwise ill.
But sure, keep pretending this is Armageddon.

I am just posting statistics I find interesting. I never said anything about Armageddon, LOL. You're so dramatic. I am aware of all your points including the fact the population was about 1/3 what it is now. I am also aware that back then healthcare was abysmal, there were no ventilators, and many of the sick died from secondary bacterial infections. Regardless, this is now the deadliest pandemic here in the US and the numbers will continue to climb because dumb people choose not to get vaccinated.
