No the Spanish Flu (you know, the one named after it's country of origin, Spain) in the last pandemic in 1917 killed mostly young people. It badly hit soldiers in WWI. This China Virus, (You know, the one named after it's country of origin, China....Oh wait!) Is quite different.
“...country of origin, Spain”
Spain wasn’t the origin of that disease. News reporting in the US, Canada, England, Germany and other war powers in WW I was severely censored and controlled. The war powers did not want anything reported about how the disease had affected their troop strength and ability to fight. Information about the influenza was deemed to be critical war information.
Because Spain was neutral in WW I, the Spanish press was able to freely report on the disease. So, because the Spanish press freely discussed the influenza pandemic, it became known as the “Spanish Flu.”
