Corona Virus is as deadly as the Spanish Flu

Came across this graph and I thought "that's pretty cool", shows just how deadly the Corona virus is in comparison to other well known diseases, but there was no link to the source, so I went a-Googling, and found this graph:

No, it's not

It is almost identical to the one above, except the Spanish Flu has moved from a 1% percent fatality rate to 10%. And once again, no link to the source, just vague references.

The Spanish Flu is the one that killed a bazillion people a hundred years ago. The top graph shows that the Corona virus has similar fatality rate. The bottom says the fatality rates for these two diseases differ by a factor of ten. Of course, we won't really know how deadly the Corona virus was until it's all over.

The panicked reactions of government officials are doing more damage to our world than this virus could ever hope to inflict.

An enterprising dude (or dudette) could clean up in the restaurant business by putting up glass partitions between dining booths. Meals would be served through slots in the door, just like in prison. It would help get people acclimated to life after the zombie apocalypse.
