And the Spanish flu (it was not really coming from Spain and got that name because Spanish newspapers were the first to report on a strange plague, while the truth was in came from here), that flu probably was a coronavirus too.

I was being ironic. The Spanish Flu lasted over 2 years. Modern medicine has kept Covid thus far at a lower death rate than the Spanish Flu pandemic, but without a vaccine and left uncontained, it is said that COVID-19 could be comparable to the 500 million that died in 1918.
