Re: "I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE. I REALLY DON'T. "
Ask yourself: In the 1957/58 pandemic, did the United States lock itself down to prevent spread the way it is locked down today? If not, do you think it is reasonable for your source to make the two sound comparable?

Also, the Mortality Ratio is the likelihood of dying if a disease is contracted. Before comparing the 1957/58 pandmic's deaths to this one's, we'd also need to know how many will catch SARS-CoV-2. The verdict is still out on that. The virus spreads rapidly with the average patient giving it to 5.7 others.

Most flus do not spread rapidly, and the 1957/58 pandemic is no exception. Each person who caught it is thought to have given it to 1.07 others, making the disease just barely spreadable. (Below 1.0 and a disease dies out.)
