  As we both know, the 1918 Spanish flu was unusually virulent, and back then we had no vaccines. Comparing to that flu would not give us useful data. It would be misleading. As you know, I meant today’s flu.

    Today’s flu can mutate and become as deadly as the 1918 flu without a vaccine prepared to deal with it.

    So could COVID.

    Both must be taken seriously.
