Spanish Flu legitimately killed 50 million people and was devastating for infants and toddlers. Far different animal.

It actually wasn't THAT devastating for young children or the elderly. The people that were most affected by the Spanish Flu were young adults between 18-29 years of age. From the years 1914-1921, almost an entire generation of people had been wiped out by World War I, the various conflicts that spun up as a direct result of that war, and the Spanish Flu. No wonder they were called the Lost Generation.

It was for all children. For some reason.
In old cemeteries, it’s not uncommon to see 5,6,7 or so little headstones that all have the same last name and died during the years of the Spanish flu. Usually lined up right next to the parents graves.
The Spanish flu was terrible, to give Covid 19 anywhere near the same level on the pandemic scale, like some do, is ludicrous.
