@nugent_peter @toadmeister @spectator I'd actually like to apologise and retract; a well sourced Wikipedia page gives 33,000 as UK '57 flu deaths, which would be comparable https://t.co/RgGdxt6kqw. Lancet says 20,000 https://t.co/x7uPXss5ch. I was quoting

totally. 9m cases for 14k deaths in 18 months (Uk) is very comparable to 300K cases for 45K deaths in 4 months. also lockdowns were administered at local levels and a key lesson was that decision-making lead to poor containment and practice? https://t.co/z

@Loriss65 @GlobalEcoGuy Im@not seeing any big lockdown here from GB during the 1957 pandemic. Looks like they had a mild flu year, like we did this year and then boom it spread like wildfire. https://t.co/g9klHClpuk

@goddersbloom If you're trying to say that these were no worse than the Corona Virus outbreak then stop right now. 57 / 58 thought to be 14,000 deaths. https://t.co/BVoK19P8Nf
@yashar The 1957-58 flu (H2N2) pandemic was pretty bad too. Real hard hit was Hong Kong, Singapore, China, Taiwan and UK. US wasn't hit until late June - which drasticly lowered our infection /death rate 1.1 million (est) dead - 116,000 (est) dead US htt

"By early 1958 it was estimated that ‘not less than 9 million people in Great Britain had … Asian influenza ... Of these, more than 5.5 million were attended by their doctors. About 14 000 people died of the immediate effects of their attack.’ https://t.co
@VikkiBrannagan @notracesms I should add 5½ million in UK needed medical treatment for Asian Flu. 9 million at least may have had it. https://t.co/C7bhllsKG7

Have you heard of the Asian flu in the 1957-8 season? I had not, but 30,000+ people died in the UK. The Spanish Flu in 1918-19 killed 220,000+ and possibly 50 million worldwide. Again, I note this for perspective in the current crisis. We survived it. http

In 1957, there was a new virus which spread as fast as coronavirus. Called Asian flu, it was a killer. (It nearly got me - I was off school for a total of 8 weeks.) I think what happened is worth looking at. There was no lockdown - and thousands died. htt
