Roughly 500 million cases; 25-50 million and or 17 - 100 million deaths; millions - pain, suffering, pre-existing conditions around the world. And that's the bare minimum of the Influenza A virus (Spanish Flu).

Today especially in my opinion if the USA focused in the early stages of COVID could have at least have had a better % of containment of this virus. But alas, the GQP is a lying death trap, pain and suffering, pre-exisitng party.
