From The Annotated Mrs Dalloway, Virginia Woolf, edited with an introduction and notes by Merve Emre, c. 2021, footnote, p. 8:

The United Kingdom saw three pandemic waves of  influenza (from the Italian word for "influence") during 1918 - 19, which affected over a quarter of the British population and resulted in the deaths of 228,000 people in Britain alone. 

In a letter written on September 29, 1918, Professor Roy Grist, a physician stationed at Camp Devens in Massachusetts, described his patients' violent speed of death: 

"When brought to the hospital they very rapidly develop the most vicious type of pneumonia that has ever been seen. Two hours after admission they have the mahogany spots over the cheek bones, and a few hours later you can begin to see the cyanosis extending from their ears and spreading all over the face ... it is only a matter of a few hours then until death comes, and it is simply a struggle for air until they suffocate .

2021, Covid-19, United Kingdom, link here. 

Most of the world is in its fourth wave. It's hard to say whether the UK is in its second, third or fourth wave.

• corona-cases to date: 6.9 million
• population: 66.65 million
• percent of cases-to-date/overall population: 10%
• deaths: 133,047
• death rate per total cases: 1.93%
• death rate per population:
• 133,047 / 66.65 million = 0.2%
