in the 1918 pandemic more people in WWI died from the flu than from fighting.
Lots and lots of people died from that, almost as bad as the black plague.
When I traced my family tree back I found at least three ancestors who died from the flu.
Most of the time it is people who are sick from something else: weakened immune system, weak heart, cancer, etc.
