I've seen this Covid-19 likened to Spanish Flu for its deadliness. Depending on the source, it killed between 50-100 million worldwide in 1918. In Britain it killed circa 250,000 and infected a quarter of the total population (11 million back then). The first wave didn't do much damage, the final one from September to December certainly did. That one was especially fond of killing those aged 25-45. This one likes bumping off those 70+, which will delight governments who will save on pension payments and those hoping to bag an early inheritance windfall. But anyway, as implied, should this be similar to Spanish Flu then this year's end is when there'll be panic in Chinese streets and elsewhere.
