Meadows is correct COVID1-9 is more like the 1957-1958 H2N2 Flu Pandemic:

1918 USA Influenza Pandemic:
USA Population: 103,208,000
675,000 flu fatalities (est.) = 0.00654 fatalities per capita (15.5x worse than COVID-19 so far)

1957-1958 Influenza Pandemic:
USA Population: 171,984,130
116,000 flu fatalities (est.) = 0.000675 fatalities per capita

1968-1969 USA Pandemic:
USA Population: 200,706,052
100,000 flu fatalities (est.) = 0.000498 fatalities per capita

2020 COVID-19 as of 7-14-2020:
USA Population: 331,002,651
139,143 COVID fatalities = 0.000420 fatalities per capita

Nobody I have talked to even remembers the 1950-60s “pandemics” when I ask them. Yet those events were worse than what we are going through now. Something changed. I wonder what that could be?
