Well, you have to go more than a hundred years in the past to find a "real bad flu" that beats it.
But they weren't locking down cities like crazy back then and pretty much just dealt with it without the psychological enslavement of people.

For virtually all of us, SARS-CoV-2 is the worst virus (by nearly an order of magnitude) that we have encountered in our lifetimes.
The worst virus for the old, unhealthy & obese people that have a multitude of medical problems and are on multiple medications to stay alive. You forgot how so many of the young and healthy (at all ages) are asymptomatic or experience very mild symptoms. I thought it was funny that 68 yr old Alabama head football coach Nick Saban a few weeks ago tested positive but was completely asymptomatic and had to quarantine anyway. Imagine in the past if Saban had tested positive for the seasonal flu and was asymptomatic - any talk of a quarantine would have been the craziest thing ever!
This is the power that the medical industrial complex has with the MSM & politicians in creating & sustaining an atmosphere of fear & hysteria.
