Though not related to the topic, the number of deaths in the two world wars is very interesting data.
WW 1 - 20 million
WW 2 - 85 million
The number of people who have died because of wars and smaller conflicts throughout history has to be in the billions, maybe even rivaling that of malaria.

The WWI numbers probably swell a bit when you consider the overstretched governments were completely unable to handle the Spanish Flu.
God only knows what would have happened if the Spanish Flu hit at the end of World War II.
For me what is worrisome is not, "those pandemics were far worse", it is that this pandemic is so bad even though our ability to treat disease is vastly higher.
