When you consider more than a century of medical advances there is no -- none; zero; nada; nil -- comparison that can be legitimately made between how the 1918 Spanish Flu was dealt with and how the 2020 Chinese Virus is being addressed.

None. Understand?

What on earth are you talking about?

Anti-mask protesters in 1918, anti-mask protesters in 2020.

In 1918, those protests succumbed to the second wave of the pandemic.

We await further developments in 2020.

Great graph on disease outbreak differences with this pandemic in countries that wear masks in public (those that suffered in the FIRST SARS outbreak learned their lessons, masks are considered polite and considerate behavior) and those who still eschew masks in public (only sheep wear those!)
