1918-1919
Influenza pandemic
the so-called Spanish flu — a strain of influenza virus that science now identifies as H1N1 — spread around the world.
In the United States, it would cause nearly half of all deaths over the next year.
In what was already a time of murderous war, the disease killed millions more on the front lines and in military hospitals in Europe;
in some populations in India, the mortality rate for those infected approached 20 percent.
The best estimates suggest that as many as 100 million people died from the Great Influenza outbreak that eventually circled the globe.
To put that in comparison, roughly three million people have died from Covid-19 over the past year, on a planet with four times as many people.
a deadly flu outbreak gripped the nation, wiping out a third of the world’s population and killing 675,000 people in the United States alone. - NYT, April 27, 2021

Pendant l’hiver de 1918-1919, on comptera jusqu’à un milliard de malades, sur une population totale de 1,9 milliard d’humains sur la planète, et le nombre de décès liés à cette pandémie est évalué entre 50 à 100 millions.
