Covid is bad but the 1918 flu killed 50 million people world wide with 650,000 in the US. Depending on what source you believe, the CDC in the US or British sources the 1957 flu killed 1.1-4 million people worldwide. Any pandemic is bad problem die from them but to say Covid is worse statistically is just not true.
