WHOWHOSpeaking to Italy's RAI TV, Ranieri Guerra said that the second stage of the Spanish flu, which came 100 years ago, had killed millions of people.

He said the Spanish flu was working like a Covid. However, the number of cases decreased during the summer season, but increased later.

Earlier, European Central Bank chief Christine Lagarde said on Friday that if we learned something from the Spanish flu of 1918-1919, the second stage of the corona could definitely come.
