One observation of the mortality rate is the spike in 1918. "The Spanish flue". Denis Rancourt link again.

At about 3 mins 10 seconds.

In fact, how the name "the Spanish flu" came about is itself interesting.

Although WW1 was coming to a close there was still strict war censorship in the news columns of all the combatants. Spain was neutral, and the Newspapers published stories on a new and dangerous flu that was ravaging Spain. Some of those newspapers sold in Allied countries and people noticed they were experiencing a similar problem. They would not have known otherwise.

So Pandemics are rare indeed, excepting instances where they are started deliberately.

Ralf Baric new what the solution was, and Dr Vladimir Zelenko started administering the Ralf Baric antidote with great success in New York... much to the regional authorities disdain... he was saving old peoples lives. tut tut.
