The 1917-1919 H1N1 was particularly lethal (but not as much as Covid-19).

You sure. I read that the fatality rate for Spanish Flu was 10%. The current CFR for USA for COVID-19, using official number, is around 3 to 4 percent. (Resolved CFR could be somewhat higher when its all over -- it's high as a kite now.)

I read that the fatality rate for Spanish Flu was 10%. The current CFR for USA for COVID-19, using official number, is around 3 to 4 percent.

I've seen estimates that the 1919 pandemic had a case fatality rate of about 2%.

As of this morning, the death rate for Covid-19 is 6.998%. Yesterday, it was 7.027%. The US rate is lower, but is at 5.738% and still increasing. I have the sense that the US is lagging behind the rest of the world on this trajectory.
