Valid points.

HIV/AIDS was nor communicable by air, only by transmitting fluids.   36 million in 50 years is alot of people, but its comparing apples to oranges.

The Flu of 68 is a better comparison and was 18+ months before a treatment was in place.  COVID-19 is on track to top 1 million deaths in under a year.  There was a smaller world population in 1968, but current medical technology is far advanced from that era so it offsets the population difference.  Unfortunately our national leadership is far inferior.  One vital difference is in 1968 the govt was trying hard to compile accurate data.  In 2020 the govt is actively trying to eliminate the data.

SARS/COVID-2 has somewhere around 500,000 deaths worldwide.  COVID-19 is equal to that already in 4 months and is surging.  It will easily triple that by next summer short of a medical miracle.

In 20 years the WHO historians will reevaluate the numbers from COVIS-19.  I feel coronavirus will be looked at as the most deadly pandemic since 1950.  Just my opinion.
