How did America endure (by the grace of God): Major modern influenza pandemics: Basic source is from Wikipedia, but with specific US data added as well as for the 2017-18 flu season, with other words in [brackets] being added, and formatting improved, while reference numbers are removed for clarity (see original for such)

Name	[Main]Date	U,S. population	World pop.	Sub-type	Reproduction rate	Infected (est.)	U.S. Deaths	[Tot.] Deaths world-wide	U.S. fatality rate	[World] Case fatality rate	Pandemic severity	I also added this column: During the 2017-2018 flu season the the % of deaths attributed to pneumonia and influenza (P&I) was at or above the epidemic threshold for 16 consecutive weeks, and exceeded 10.0% for four consecutive weeks, with older Americans dying at a rate of 169 Americans a day, or seven people per hour. For this 2019-20 season, the CDC reports (March 28) that deaths due to P&I was 7.4%, which is above the epidemic threshold of 7.3%. The increase is due to an increase in pneumonia deaths rather than influenza deaths and may be associated with COVID-19.

[Notes * P+I deaths at or above epidemic threshold for 16 consecutive weeks. **as should be assumed in other cases, death rates include those due to complications accompanying the flu. It is estimated that about 80% of those infected with Covid-19 experience a mild case [WHO said the like] – about as serious as a regular cold – and recover without needing any special treatment. while a study in Iceland reports that half of coronavirus carriers show no symptoms, which statistically lowers the death rate vs. calculating it from reported cases. Those who are most vulnerable to death from Covid-19 are the aged with certain other heath conditions, thus 80 percent of US coronavirus deaths are people 65 and older. Then again, America murders over 2,000 of the most vulnerable souls a day (2017: https://www.guttmacher.org/fact-sheet/induced-abortion-united-states), while (for perspective) about 90 people die each day in the US from crashes, which are among the over 7,000 Americans who die every day in the US from a wide range of causes. (https://www.weisspaarz.com/leading-causes-death-by-state/) Other infectious diseases include: Severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, and the mortality rate for SARS, that killed nearly 800 people, is estimated at 1 % by the C C, and with a R rating of 5. MERS, which stands for Middle East re respiratory syn drone, had a mortality rate of 5% and a R rating of 2]. Measles: Mortality rate: unclear; R rating: 12 to 18 Ebola Mortality rate: exceeds 50% R rating: about 2 Source: .cnbc.com]

By the grace of God we will get thru this too.
Even if we have to shoot our way out of it.

The Spanish Flu made Corona Virus look like a non event

Can we make The Spanish Flu an honorary Flubro?

[eastexsteve]

That’s an easy question to answer regarding the “modern” pandemics. We used Anti-viral drugs and vaccines. Of which, neither are available for COVID19.

We did not have The Fifth Column of The Fourth Estate infiltrating our lives.

How? We didn't have a 10 minute news cycle with 24hr reporting and hundreds of news channels fighting for headline advertising revenues.

Despite the high morbidity and mortality rates that resulted from the epidemic, the Spanish flu began to fade from public awareness over the decades until the arrival of news about bird flu and other pandemics in the 1990s and 2000s.[120] This has led some historians to label the Spanish flu a "forgotten pandemic".[22]

Nor was the press rabidly liberal and seeking to prevent a Trump from reelection.

Actually such were not available at first either for some infectious diseases, or were not very effective, as with the flu 3 year ago, while there are reports of certain medicines being effective against Covid-19, despite what the MSM would like you to parrot.
