Spanish/Covid Flu: Playbook or History Repeating Itself?
3. Number of Deaths (I)
Sept 2020The Spanish Flu ravaged Australia in 1919, leaving
15,000 dead within a year of the first case in January.
A total of
540 South Australians died as a result of Spanish Flu.
Australia's population stood at about five million at the time, and more than a third of all Australians were infected. Indigenous communities were hit particularly hard by the virus, which had a
50 per cent mortality rate among Aboriginal people.The global mortality rate from the 1918/1919 pandemic is not known, but an estimated 10% to 20% of those who were infected died, with estimates of the total number of deaths ranging from
50-100 million people.

May 2020It killed more people in one year than the four-year "Black Death" Bubonic Plague from 1347 to 1351.The 1918 Spanish flu pandemic killed at least
50 million people worldwide.
According to official records, the Spanish flu killed some
675,000 AmericansSource
April 2020Researchers have continued to investigate the Spanish flu. Its exact death toll and case fatality rate —
the total number of deaths out of the total number of recorded cases —are unknown because of incomplete and inaccurate records in some less-developed regions. Estimates range between 17.4 million and 100 million deaths worldwide. Alex Navarro is the assistant director of the Centre for the History of Medicine at the University of Michigan. He's researched the effects of the 1918 and 2009 influenza pandemics for more than a decade. Despite the presence of death records in the United States,
“It’s really just a guess", he said.
“What data there are tend to be inconsistent and of questionable validity, accuracy and robustness,” a 2002 study reads.

March 2020[Case fatality rate (CFR)—the proportion of known infections that result in death.]
Both newspapers and scientific journals frequently state three facts about the Spanish flu: It infected 500 million people (nearly one-third of the world population at the time); it killed between 50 and 100 million people; and it had a case fatality rate of 2.5 percent.
This is not mathematically possible. For these ‘people’ figures to be true, the CFR would have to be 10 to 20 percent. If the CFR was in fact 2.5 percent and if 500 million were infected, then
the death toll was 12.5 million. If the CFR was 2.5 percent and if the death toll was really 50 million, then the number of people infected was, at least,
TWO BILLION! More than the number of people that existed at the time!When
W.H.O. director-general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, announced on March 3 that the novel coronavirus had a global
case fatality rate of 3.4 percent, he was simply reporting known deaths divided by known cases, not an intelligent estimate or a definitive number.
