Also it's not the same disease. I assume experts look at a large number of factors to assess whether it should or should not happen and measure the disease by a variety of metrics. Also I'd assume the urbanization, science, and ability to execute a lockdown changes over 62 years. Also the nature of work is different. Nobody was doing home computer video conferencing in 1958. If anyone really wanted to compare it, they'd probably need to have some technical expertise in both diseases and also be some kind of specialized historian.
