I don't know why shit keeps on getting compared to the 1920s and 1970s. Do you know how much medicine has advanced since then, let alone our nasty habits (poor hygiene)? Just because something is claimed as a "pandemic" doesn't mean that its a fucking disaster, it just means a disease is widespread thru a greater or greater. You could claim HIV and many other things as pandemics. There will always be a flu; it will evolve, and so will we.

To quote the old game "Outpost": Don't Panic.
