The us actually handled the 1918 pandemic even worse than this one. Public authorities largely claimed it wasn't happening and wasn't a big deal as hospitals overflowed and we dug mass graves. They even cancelled public gatherings but pretended it was unrelated to a health crisis. Health responses in the us were completely scattershot, and no one trusted information coming out from the government. Compared to that this response was actually far better and more organized.
