QUALITATIVELY akin to the 1918 variety..."the fatal severity of the Spanish flu's “second wave” was caused by a mutated virus spread by wartime troop movements. When the Spanish flu first appeared in early March 1918, it had all the hallmarks of a seasonal flu, albeit a highly contagious and virulent strain."
So far we all have been lucky that the new variants are not more lethal QUANTITAVELY......yet.
As I have stated repeatedly, one cannot view a epidemic holistically within the time it continues to evolve
