If that is true (it is theorised that was how the 1918 flu killed people) it would primarily kill people with strong immune systems, not people with weak immune systems. I saw an epidemiology specialist (Michael T. osterholm maybe?) say that luckily this isn't how COVID-19 behaves or we would see millions dead.
