Even normalized to populations at the time, the 1968 flu doesn't compare to COVID19. And those lockdown protests should be putting the US back on an upward case trend in the coming week.

We're already there. The red state cover-up is in full swing. Add 50% to the "official" numbers.

And to add to this a lot of deaths that have already occurred from COVID are not yet officially counted. You are already likely well over 100K in the USA :-(

My point was simply to say that 1968 was bad enough, and well known enough, to induce panic and closures but it did not.

Using history as a guide seems like a good idea. Also, gotta consider dividing your 100k by the different populations of the USA in 1968 (205 million) vs 2020 (350+ million).

Agreed. But doesn’t a higher infectiousness (and a virgin population) concentrate deaths in time?
