The 1918 influenza pandemic. Invest an hour of your time and research it.
"With no vaccine to protect against influenza infection and no antibiotics to treat secondary bacterial infections that can be associated with influenza infections, control efforts worldwide were limited to non-pharmaceutical interventions such as isolation, quarantine, good personal hygiene, use of disinfectants, and limitations of public gatherings, which were applied unevenly." https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pandemic-resources/1918-commemoration/1918-pandemic-history.htm

What happened to "covid isn't the flu"?
Again, I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. Society didn't exactly collapse and while there were some changes to the way people lived, life went on. Yes there were a number of deaths, but in the end the pandemic ended and those who survived apparently had natural immunity that helped them (and society) later on. You should read newspapers of the time--you'll see that there wasn't the same level of mass hysteria about the influenza and in many respects people functioned normally. Had the "experts" handled the covid response like the 1918 influenza was, 2020 would no doubt been a difficult year, but the "pandemic" would now be coming to and end, but instead we're stuck in a predicament where there appears to be no end in sight.
No one here said covid is the flu.
Bullshit. "If a similar pandemic occurred today, it would result in 150 million deaths" https://www.nber.org/digest/may20/social-and-economic-impacts-1918-influenza-epidemic We're currently a little over 5 million deaths. You just dream your facts up, don't you.
One person's opinion, so far. Got any studies or journal articles to back that up?
Unsupported opinions are available by the billions on the Internet.
I still don't know what point you're trying to make. As an example, Toronto had a population of about 500,000 in 1918. By Armistice Day, c. 1750 had died from the flu. Life went on. No services or industries were significantly disrupted if at all.
Get vaccinated if you can. It reduces the load on the healthcare system and allows more people with regular health problems to get help.
This is not true. If it was you could support your statements with some links. Anyone who wants check can do so by entering "Spanish flu in Toronto" into their favourite search engine.
