Something about that strain caused healthy immune systems to kick into overdrive and essentially start attacking that persons organs.



The “something” you are thinking of is cytokine storm.

It’s also associated with smallpox and is suspected to be the primary cause of death of that disease (they honestly don’t know how smallpox kills).

100 million died in 1918 because medicine sucked in 1918. Had they had today's medicine it likely would have been a few million at most



Why were they just using 1918 medicine recently in China?

If it mutates and can pass person to person it will easily be that bad if not worse. There has been many simulations done on this and it is quite scary. There are over 3x as many people today then in 1918 and you can cross the world in 24 hours. It's not a if but when.
