Why are we doing so poorly with the coronavirus?

The Spanish flu was over and done with in 2 years. We are in covid two and a half! And they had no vaccine!

Not sure how to determine just how poorly or how well we are doing with covid. The world population was about 1.7 billion back in 1917 as compared to 7.7 billion in 2019. We're more densely populated and global travel is much easier which heavily contributes to spread. We also vaccinated into a pandemic, which many immunologists believe led to mutations and escape variants. Like the flu, looks like we'll have to deal with covid from now on.
