21st Century equivalent to the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918.

While it did not wipe out the human race, there was certainly a crimp in population lasting for perhaps more than a generation.

China alone could lose more than a hundred million people if this as dread as it is being made out to be. Imagine if it got loose in Africa in addition to all the other highly infectious diseases that lurk there.

Unless you’re counting indirect deaths from societal breakdown?
