Corona now the most severe pandemic
The Spanish flu lost its title as the worst pandemic in recent US history on Monday, at least in absolute numbers. According to historians, at least 50 million people worldwide died from the Spanish flu.
Unlike the coronavirus, the Spanish flu was often fatal, especially for young people – people under the age of five or between the ages of 20 and 40 were particularly affected.
