I doubt that there would have been so many cases of death that statistics would have been distorted alarmingly. Also, they didn't know what they might be looking for then, and in most cases I presume they would have recorded known conditions?

A few factors can somewhat explain this; the degree to which vulnerable people are naturally, relatively sheltered from infection, and the case mortality rate.
