Hopefully they will get a Corona vaccine soon, but this virus is mutating.
The 1918 influenza pandemic killed 50 million people.
Influenza may have killed as many as 25 million people in its first 25 weeks. Older estimates say it killed 40–50 million people,[3] while current estimates put the death toll at probably 50 million, and possibly as high as 100 million.
The second wave of the 1918 pandemic was much deadlier than the first. The first wave had resembled typical flu epidemics; those most at risk were the sick and elderly, while younger, healthier people recovered easily. By August, when the second wave began in France, Sierra Leone, and the United States,[73] the virus had mutated to a much deadlier form. October 1918 was the deadliest month of the whole pandemic.[74]
