I’m not trying to imply COVID (literally SARS2) isn’t serious. I’m saying it could have been worse. The hardest hit demographic in Toronto during the Spanish flu was men in their 20s. People died the same day they became symptomatic. That would completely overwhelm our health infrastructure. We don’t have the infrastructure for a pandemic that causes respiratory arrest within hours of symptom onset (the dreaded rapid onset of influenza). Covid gave people days to prepare…and still caught some by surprise.
