Different bugs, different lethalities, MUCH better care.
Apparently China is using Tamiflu and fluoroquinolones to treat infections -- the Tamiflu as an antiviral, and the fluoroquinolones to hold off any opportunistic bacterial infections. They have also been using two antiretrovirals and claim some success with those.
I personally would suggest ANY other category of antibiotic, because fluoroquinolones are some nasty, damaging shit. They're using azithromycin instead on some patients. That at least doesn't damage heart valves. . . .
50 million out of 1 billion died in 1918 from 300 million infected. It's too complicated for me to dispute, but 30 million today seems like horseshit.
