Maybe you mean in your life time...went through the "swine " flu,,opps I mean H1N1 back in the 70s,as an army medic..
in 2009 "Between the spring of 2009 and the spring of 2010, the virus infected as many as 1.4 billion people across the globe and killed between 151,700 and 575,400 people, "
Conformed cases, and the fatality rate, have been growing exponentially, and also in extremely close correlation with most mainstream predictions. Personally, my most conservative guess is that we will see 200,000 to 250,000 cases and at least twice as many fatalities as China even though our population is only about 1/3 of theirs and we had three times as much time to prepare.

This figure is all the more "impressive" (unfortunately) when one considers that COVID has done this in less than 1 year WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY worldwide pandemic suppression measures have been implemented on a scale never before known. ...although these measures are not of course always observed...
And this also with the support of modern intensive care facilities which, so far, have not been overwhelmed on a large scale. Although that could still happen. So considering these additional factors, it's clear that this virus is a heavy hitter, despite all the many asymptomatic and mild cases.
