2018 was a real nasty flu year. I believe the official total for flu deaths was somewhere around 61,000.
Yeah just a "few" thousand...
End of the world? Probably less than 5% casualties, even with a horrid government and health care system. Like, say Iran.

Coronavirus burial pits so vast they’re visible from space
“A worker told me that they must have buried more than 250 coronavirus victims so far,” the caption reads. As the narrator walks across the cemetery grounds, he points the camera down to highlight what he says are new burials. “These are all graves and they are fresh,” he says, at one point using a gloved index finger to direct the viewer to the plots on the horizon. “These are all from the last few days,” he continues. “And as you can see, it goes on until the end.”
One city, one cemetery. Official deaths were 77 at that point in time, for the whole of Iran.
