2. Case Fatality Rate
"According to the Harvard modelling, the strain responsible for the Spanish flu of 1918 was far more deadly than strains before or since, but was not significantly more infectious."

The 1918 pandemic flu strain had a case fatality rate in the 2-5% range.

In 2004 H5N1 in Vietnam and Thailand has a case fatality rate exceeding 70%
