The world population from 1918-1920 was approximately 1,900,000,000

The Spanish flu global death rate was therefore somewhere between 0.89% and 5.26%
100 x 17,000,000 / 1,900,000,000 = 0.89%
100 x 100,000,000 / 1,900,000,000 = 5.26%
As of April 2021 there have been 3,000,000 CCP virus deaths worldwide.

As of April 2021 there were approximately 7,900,000,000 billion human beings on Earth.

The CCP virus death rate is therefore approximately 0.038%.
100 x 3,000,000 / 7,900,000,000 = 0.038%
The CCP virus death rate is therefore between 0.72% and 4.0% of the Spanish flu.
100 x 0.038% / 0.89% = 4.0%
100 x 0.038% / 5.26% = 0.72%
We shut down the entire planet for a “plague” that has a global death rate 4% or less of the Spanish flu.
Not 4% less than the Spanish Flu.
4% OF the Spanish flu. Yuge difference, like 96%.
