sethnintendo said: Imagine if it was as deadly to 20 and 30 year olds like the 1918 flu. That was dropping young adults like flies. We would probably be over 10 million dead worldwide or more. |
nvm.
Got it mixed up with the spanish flu, that wasnt so awefull.
The 1918 flu was bad (17 million+ deaths bad, and mortality rate likely over 4%).
Still people downplay Covid19 (mortality rate 1,5% or so? and likely over 2m deaths so far).
Its gonna be the worst pandemic since 1889, apart from the 1918 flu.
Would be surprised if before covid19 is done, it hits 4m+ deaths.
(I dont think 2021 is the year we beat it, might still be around till 2022 imo)
