1918 influenza pandemic

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]

All of them mutate.

Granny says the same is gonna happen...

... with the Wuhan virus...

It's all nonsense about "Scientists race to develop a coronavirus vaccine." They didn't bother with SARS, because SARS became extinct after July 2003. The 1918 flu didn't last more than three years and vanished entirely. No need for a vaccine there, either. Presumably this 2020 virus will also become extinct without a vaccine. It's weird to see Fauci and the others with CDC up there before the microphones saying in answer to silly reporter questions, "Oh, yes, vaccines are the answer!" When they have no expectation that will be necessary or even possible.

A lot of people think the "Spanish flu" came from China. It definitely didn't come from Spain. There was certainly something very bad going around China in 1917, and a LOT of coolies were imported to load and carry things in France during the war.

In 1918, the great influenza pandemic killed as many people in 11 months as the medieval Black Death did in 4 years

we have much better medical science now, so this might not get very bad
however people can travel a lot more nowadays
ultimately it will breakout

Not necessarily! MERS didn't; SARS didn't, in the end (that one was a nail-biter, though).

However, I think it will break out, too. Note there is NO word on any coronavirus showing up in all the Mideast, African, South American countries. But it must be there if it's in so many of the developed countries. The developed countries are carefully watching for it: most of Africa won't even know if they ever do have it. Ever, unless a whole lot of people die. This is where people are furious at all the fuss Westerners make about Ebola, because four times that many have died in the same time from cholera!
