there is no doubt covid-19 is a mild pandemic compared to spanish flu and certainly plagues like the Justinian plague. Note spanish flu consensus prior to the outbreak of covid19 was 20% mortality. After march 2000, a few thousand edits put it at 2%, which I am more inclined to believe the 20% side of it.
covid19 is somewhere between .5 and 1% (probably). the flu pandemic of 1957 was around .67%. so we literally went through this not long ago, people didnt freak out and destroy their economies for decades like we are trying to do now.
