1720 Plague, 1820 Cholera Outbreak, 1920 Spanish Flu, 2020 Coronavirus! Each happened exactly 100 years after the previous one". We don't know if it is coincidence or just a pattern, but the corona is indeed spreading like these above-mentioned viruses.

@MalteseFalconPunch I could accept "approximately 100" referring to the last 2, but I too bristled at "exactly". Also, scary as this is, it will never compare to the Spanish Flu. The regular old flu is a much bigger concern at this point.

@MalteseFalconPunch So it is estimated that 3-6% of the world's population died of the Novel H1N1 "Spanish" Flu. It is estimated that 10 to 20% of people who got it died! Imagine the panic!

What made it truly unique, compared to most influenza, is it was most deadly to young adults in the 20-40 range. Anyone who follows influenza epidemiology knows it tends to be most dangerous to elderly and infants.

It is thought that this is in part due to a previous flu outbreak where some immunity might have been acquired, but is still very unusual.(though this does not explain the infant part).

Also, if you get the flu, dont expect your local lab or hospital to test for this new version of Coronavirus. In the USA, only the CDC is currently testing it.
