When was the last time that happened?

Polio!? That thing had a 30% by-case mortality rate among adults of different age groups, for fuck's sake.

Here you're talking about a virus that's slightly more dangerous than the seasonal flu, where the near totality of its death toll was in people over 70 year old, or people with previous weakening conditions (mainly diabetes and cardio-respiratory issues). The overall mortality rate of any Covid strain was ridiculous compared to all the other historical deadly viruses.
