DJ-The Spanish Flu/H1N1 may have killed up to 5% of the global population between 1917-1923...from a history perspective this was a "mild pandemic"....

In the list-in the link some pandemics may have killed 60-80% of a population (Roman Empire, Mexico, Japan...) 

In the "pandemic triangle" you need a disease (D)-a host (H) and transport (T) to get the disease into the host;

  D - H
     T

It becomes a triangle because a host is spreading the disease/transport...

-Compared to historical pandemics "things did change";

The number of hosts, speed of transport did increase....There may be 4-5 times as many people in 2024 then there were in 1917-1923 the last "real" pandemic...

Both CoViD and HIV/AIDS may have killed tens-of-millions, however the global human population is 8,2 billion...So if CoViD would have killed 40 million it would <0,5% of the global population...

The ruling fascist political order puts the economy above those "old and weak"..."just let them die..."

Also "catching the disease creates immunity"...may work for most types of flu...it does NOT work that way for CoViD !
