[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 547198, member: 4386"] Probably more (the death toll in china is poorly known, 24 million when it may be 50 million - one million died in a single day, Also the 9 million in SE Asia, Dutch East Indies and the Philippines are usually forgotten, as are the 3 million of Japan itself - Russia is sometimes underestimated (probably at least 24 million). And what caused the catastrophe of the 1919 Spanish flu to sweep the world? Returning soldiers from WW1. They caused 40% of the Australian population to catch it and 15,000 died (that would be 75,000 dead with our present population). 500 million people caught it around the world, and probably over 50 million died (some estimates are as high as 100 million, one at 199 million). It killed far more than the war itself. 50 to 199 million deaths then would be 215 to 856 million deaths today (which is why I am amazed when people downplay the risks from coronavirus, saying "as many people probably die of flu every year").
