From Axios:
Nobody understood [the coronavirus] because nobody's ever seen anything like this. The closest thing is in 1917, they say, right? The great pandemic. Certainly was a terrible thing where they lost anywhere from 50 to 100 million people. Probably ended the Second World War, all the soldiers were sick.
The flu pandemic back then was actually 1918.
And the Second World War ended in 1945.
